Story

We are the "Esk Valley 4 Go Cycling"!

We are four members of The Rotary Club of Esk Valley, three of whom are in their 60s!

We have challenged ourselves to undertake this ride - some 331 miles from the Normandy Beaches [D-Day landing] through Ypres, Nijmegen, Remegen, Eindhoven and on to Arnhem - famous in the film "A Bridge Too Far"

We are raising money for ABF The Soldiers' Charity who provide vital support to soldiers, veterans and their families in times of need.

For Soldiers. For Life.

We are organising a number of fund-raising events - so please look out for them and give as generously as you feel able.

Feel free to pass our page link on to friends, neighbours, business friends, and colleagues.

Many thanks

Alan, Brian, Grant, Mike
