The Legal & General Real Assets pedElle 2017, organised by business networking and fundraising charity Club Peloton, will see 43 women from across the industry ride 500km from Porto to Lisbon, climbing almost 8000m in three days. The ride starts on 18 May and concludes in the Portuguese capital on 21 May.

Around two-thirds of the money raise will go towards Coram Adoption, which finds safe and loving homes for some of the UK's most vulnerable children. Set to be the largest pedElle event ever, participants will benefit from a pro rider experience, with full crew support in the form of lead car, mechanics, paramedics and sports injury therapists and a luggage van.

Last year's participants are shown in the photo.
