I am looking at supporting this amazing local charity with your help and by personally completing a bike challenge this time. Below is a taster of what my personal challenge will entail (this doesn’t include the fact that I’m a very fussy eater and will probably be living on plan rice for the whole event)

Follow the road less cycled from Saigon to Angkor Wat,venturing into the heart of the Vietnam’s Mekong Delta. Riding the quiet backwater roads. As I make my way to Siem Reap, Covering 450km across seven days,

The adventure begins after a ferry journey across the Tien Giang river. A varied section of biking follows off-road, gravel and dirt lanes, weaving around hamlets, across water channels and through dense vegetation. (APPROXIMATELY 52KMS)

This is day 1 the rest of the week continues in the same way
