We are some of the 200 intrepid cyclists to Right To Play on a glorious tour from Edinburgh to London. Leaving from under the castle in one capital and arriving outside of Buckingham Palace in another, this 6 day trip will take us over hills, along coasts and through national parks. Even if you are experienced, this promises to be a fantastic challenge.Day 1: We will leave from Edinburgh Castle, roll over the hills on our way to Berwick-Upon-Tweed.
Day 2: Leaving Berwick with the wind in our hair, we will enjoy a relaxed seaside ride, over the border and along the Northumberland coast to Newcastle.
Day 3: The beautiful Moorlands in the Pennines await, idyllically flanking our cycle to Leeds. We’re half way!
Day 4: Good old English country roads will take us through national parks on the way from Leeds to Nottingham.
Day 5: The penultimate and longest day of the ride. Now worries, it’s all down hill (south) as we glide through the East Midlands to the stunning university town of Oxford.
Day 6: We’ll hopefully joined by Mark Cavendish for the final leg of glory from Oxford and London where Buckingham palace, our finishing line, will meet us, greet us and make us proud of our fantastic achievement. Then it’s on to the post-cycle party…
