Swede success: The UK optical industry cycling team put together by Transitions prepares to tackle the 150km Halvvattern cycle ride last weekend. All of the optical industry cycling team invited by Transitions to take part completed the event, some with just six weeks of training. The Halvattern is part of a week-long cycling festival based around the world’s biggest cycle event, the Vatternrundan. The team were among nearly 30,000 entrants over the week who consumed their way through 160,000 buns, 25,000 litres of energy drink and 3,000 kilos of gherkins while riding around lake Vattern in Sweden.
