The Donkeys are a herd of Lycra clad fifty something mates who are often found wandering the lanes of Guernsey on a Sunday morning. Having foolishly committed to the challenge over an apres cycle coffee and bacon roll we are now on our way to the French Alps.

This is the third year the Donkeys have ridden with Challenge Adventure Charities. This years challenge covers 441 miles from Troyes to Alp D'Huez over three days by bicycle team relay. The ride culminates with a climb to the top of the iconic 1,850m Alp and hopefully making it down again with collar bones intact!
