Starting on the high plain of Southern Bavaria, the riders will cover around 130km a day over the Alps and into Northern Italy. They will traverse a range of terrain, pushing up the steep mountain inclines in the Alps to heights of 1320metres.This year team includes five amateur enthusiasts: Simon King from Wickes, Richard Burnham  from JWO and Robin Scott and Robert Best. With the help of their companies, family and friends the 5 cyclists are hoping to raise over £50k for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research.
