<p>This summer Max Storm and I will be cycling over 3000 kms (a similar distance as Edinburgh to Istanbul) through mainland europe and Jamie Randall will be joining us for the final leg from Berlin to raise money for Task Brasil, which mean so much to the three of us.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The three of us met in September 2009 in the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro. It made a big impact on our lives, and we are keen to raise as much as<span class="text_exposed_show"> we can to help the people of this vibrant city scared with poverty.<br /><br />I will be arriving in Dubrovnik and cycling up to meet Max in Split where the expedition really gets going. Our route will start in Split in southern Croatia we shall cycle through the country into Hungary to Budapest then up to Bratislava across to Vienna up to Prague and Berlin then across to Amsterdam and a short hop across The Channel to London.<br /><br />On our return we are organising a coming home party in London and we hope you can all make it.<br /><br />We will be updating a blog while we are on the road so check it out at ...<br /><br />We would love it if every km we ride could be worth a pound, so please sponsor as many kilometres as you can. </span></p> <p><br />Many of you will be aware that I have done similar trips in the past. We are hoping to make it more challenging than anything any of us have done before.</p>
