This years team riders are Gary Parker, Nick Cross, Lee Watson, Pete Middleton, Neil Weatherald, Scott Ferry-Collins & our fully experienced cycle support Steve Hardaker.

The ride is a further team challenge following our recent Lands End to John O'Groats rides & will take us from Paris across France & over the Pyrenees mountains, south towards our final destination Benitachell in Alicante, Spain.

Our challenge is 1,000 gruelling miles over a total of 9 days meaning that our team will have covered 6,000 miles combined. We are all fully focused on completing the challenge & are currently hard at work training to support the daisy appeal which we all believe to be a fantastic local charity. 

The Charity helps make cancer, heart disease and dementia a thing of the past. Since it was established in 2000, the Daisy Appeal has raised £12.5m to fund cutting-edge research and state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.We built an £8m research centre, which opened in 2008, and in 2014 we opened the £4.5m Jack Brignall PET-CT Scanning Centre. Both are on the Castle Hill Hospital site. We now want to build a £7.2m radiochemistry and cyclotron unit so we can produce our own radioactive tracers.

Your financial support would be greatly appreciated to help this cause.
