Make the area where the Tour SilverFit Mile is taking place extra cosy and festive to really bring the event theme to life. To do this, print out the Activity Booklet with all the decorations. Perhaps there are clients who are unable or unwilling to cycle during the Tour SilverFit Mile? Include these clients in the fun and let them help with the event decorations. This way, they are also involved in the event and can join in the fun. After all, who doesn\u2019t love a party?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gather these items before the event begins<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2013 Borrow sunglasses and cycling helmets for the best photos.<br \/>\n\u2013 A bicycle bell for extra fun whilst cycling.<br \/>\n\u2013 Other decorations that tie in with the chosen theme.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional ideas<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2013 Create a large scoreboard to keep track of the minutes cycled so far.<br \/>\n\u2013 Could the location&#8217;s caterer contribute during the event?
