Story

Thanks for coming to our donations page!  This Summer, our little team will be cycling from London to the Arctic Circle in Norway. This 1500 mile expedition will take us 5 weeks, and we'll be pedalling our way through 6 countries, from the heat of the British summer, to the wet and windy German and Swedish North Sea Coast, and up into the chilly and hilly Norwegian Fjords.

We're planning this expedition ourselves and will be carrying all the gear for five weeks of camping and life on the road. We'd like to say a big thank you to the support and sponsorship we've received so far from Richards Bikes in Exeter, Mountain Warehouse, Endura and Ana Nichoola.  We couldn't have got all the kit together without them!

We're doing this expedition for the charity "Wheels for Wellbeing", a very active London-based charity that supports disabled people learning to cycle.  They provide the specialist cycles and training to allow disabled people to enjoy the outdoors, and get out to places that would otherwise be innaccessible to them.  Wheels for Wellbeing meets several times a week for rides in the park and at the Velodrome, and are also actively campaigning for better accessibility for disabled cyclists around our Capital.

We're really grateful for your support, every penny will help us stay motivated, keep our wheels turning, and get us to the Arctic Circle!  And as an extra show of thanks to everyone who donates £20 or more, we'll send a free 2014 calendar with photos of the expedition to inspire you next year and say thank you for your generosity :)
