Story

We're raising money for DiabetesUK by cycling from Brussels to the South of Italy.  Our family has been affected by diabetes, so for us both research and awareness raising are really important.  We are contributing in the best way we can by raising money and highlighting how to recognise and combat diabetes.

We're also doing the ride to have fun, so please feel free to join on any of the legs, as well as considering a generous donation.

We're spreading the ride over 2018 and 2019 in many stages, "commuting" back home after each stage.

In 2018 we rode from Brussels in Belgium to Pinzolo in the Italian Dolomites.  Here's the schedule for 2019:

March: Kortrijk to Brussels including one loop of the 1988 World Championship course in Renaix (100km).

26th & 27th April: Oxford to London (100km) and London to Dover (130km).

May: Calais to Kortrijk (130km).

End of August: 3 stages from Pinzolo to Tuscany.

Autumn: 6 stages from Tuscany to Lecce.

Please get in touch if you would like to join any of the above legs or have any questions.
