Nothing but 800 miles of saddle sores, a set of mountains complimented
with physical and mental exhaustion stand between 5 people with 1 dream.
With no more than 17 short weeks, we plan to make our way from up North down to the start line from the Arc de Triomphe and along the Champs-Élysées. From there we shall cycle appx. 800 miles to the Sagrada Familia, in Barcelona, crossing the Pyrenees en route.
During this event we are supporting three charities and aim to raise £1000 between all three:
Antenatal Results and Choices - www.justgiving.com/paris2barca4
Everyman Campaign - www.justgiving.com/rob-bray-paris2barca
Cancer Research UK - www.justgiving.com/paris2barca
Meet the team trying to support parents throughout the antenatal
testing process, raise awareness for male cancer, and help fund
research for cancer:
Lubos - East European currently without a bicycle and no touring experience.
Jon - Southern, climbs mountains and runs marathons.
Rob - Northern, inexperienced radiographer frequently exposed to radiation.
Chris - Southern, light skinned and still showing sun burn lines from his first cycling tour.
Jef - Northern, tired and cynical after his first cycling tour
As a team only Chris and Jef have undertaken anything similar before.
Together they cycled 300 miles from Didsbury in Manchester to Dunkirk
in France raising funds for Cancer Research UK. However, this trip is
more than twice the scale and no longer in the UK. There will be
challenges but with your generous help and support we will make it as
succesful as our tour in 2008 - www.justgiving.com/didsburytodunkirk.
We welcome any support you can muster for our undertaking, whether
it be donations, training with us or even a simple "keep going" when we
are down. It will all keep us motivated during the trip.
If you wish to support us through donations you have the choice to give to either via the links above.
