Raising money for Access Sport CIO and Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance

Story

Saturday 15 October - Thursday 27 October

We have set ourselves the challenge of cycling from Buckingham Palace to the Colosseum in Rome in 13 days. That equates to an average of 110 miles a day and overall the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest nearly three and a half times in the process.

To add to the challenge we're taking in some of the hardest roads Europe has to offer, from the cobbled tracks of Northern France, to some of the highest passes in the Alps to the gravel roads of Tuscany. Given the time of the year we're expecting all 4 seasons of weather to be thrown at us in the process!

Yes we all love cycling, and yes we're all up for a challenge but we want to combine this with raising money for two very worthy causes; Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance and Access Sport which you can find out more about below.

Members of the team have connections with the two charities and your support will help to further motivate us on what will be an epic challenge.

Our trip has been created from scratch by Routes Designed . Check out our route and see what's in store on the way.

Thank you!

James, Theo, Will, Phil, Justin and Adam
