Hello and thank you for visiting our page.
We are three first year students studying at the University of Bristol. During the second and third weeks of August we are cycling from Bristol to Strasbourg via Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. Our six country tour will take us approximately 11 days and we will cover around 700 miles. We will be raising money for Help for Heroes, a charity close to our hearts.
Freddie is the travelling mechanic (attempting to read Engineering) who will be on his first tour, as will be Ben who will be in charge of lighting fires (occasionally reading Chemistry). Martin is the old hand having racked up a colossal total of one previous tour, he is reading Biochemistry.
We now have all of our equipment and serious training has begun...
