Our personal message:

For a third year in a row, the cycle adventurers will be off on their travels again raising money for the Royal British Legion's poppy appeal. This year’s trip is both bigger and better... bigger in terms of our target, number of cyclists and support crew and better because we've finally managed to convince someone to drive and carry our bags.

We'll be coinciding our trip with this years 'Veterans Day' and the team will cycle through five countries in five days (England, France, Belgium, Germany and Holland). The dates for the event are Thursday 26th June to Tuesday 1st July.
