Story
We plan to ride the length of the UK, 865 miles, on a 7 seat conference
bike weighing 200kg (without riders!) in 7 days to set a new world
record. With a core team of 15 riders aiming to keep the bike moving 24 hours a day this will be a strong test of our endurance as well as the support team to keep us fueled up and rested.
We are raising money for Cyclists Fighting Cancer. Approximately 2,400 children and young people (up to, and including the age of 18) are diagnosed with cancer each year in the UK. We are passionate about helping all of these families along this difficult journey. We help children to regain their physical fitness and mental wellness by giving them new bikes, adapted trikes and specialist support during treatment and into recovery. Since the charity began in 2005 we have awarded over 8,000 bikes and trikes and we can only continue to do this with the support of our amazing fundraisers!
