Starting at the Brandenburg Gate, this unique event will take you west through Germany and across The Netherlands, then by ferry to the UK, finishing your ride at Buckingham Palace in London.
Passing through rural countryside and small towns and villages, there are always new sights to enjoy and to motivate you to keep turning the pedals. You’ll be averaging about 100 miles a day, with some rolling terrain. This is a tough undertaking, but one that will earn you an unforgettable sense of achievement as you reach the heart of London!
The event is the brainchild of George Southgate, whose dad Mike sadly died of bowel cancer in 2022, aged 59. Bowel Research UK are one of two chosen charities for this event, the other being the Institute of Cancer Research.
