UPDATE: 21/6/2010

Well, we did it. Legs are sore but morale is good. There were some grim times on the trip last week but the weather was kind to us, and fuelled by hundreds of Jaffa cakes, we rode through some amazing country. To all those who have already sponsored us, many many thanks - your money will be well used by this most worthwhile of charities.

 

Hello - thanks for looking at the page. Myself and two colleagues who work in Fleet Sales (Truck) for Mercedes are riding from the Mercedes-Benz Truck Factory in Woerth (near Stuttgart) to the Head Office for Mercedes-Benz in the UK in Milton Keynes. This is approx 500miles and we plan on riding relay style to complete this distance in three days.

Bikes are ready, kit is ready, route is planned and legs are shaved!

Day one is 197 miles with 4100 metres of climbing from Woerth through the Ardennes region of Belgium

Day two is 202 miles with 1100 metres of climbing up to the Hook of Holland

Day three is the final run from Harwich to Milton Keynes and is 102miles with 980 metres of climbing
