Fundraising for our Mental Health & Wellbeing projects at OITC, the continuation of the programmes is vital for the users which include over 200 people living with dementia & their carers.

In addition we are looking to fundraise for our TACKLE project, a secondary schools programme which helps to reengage 12-16 year olds in education and enterprise using sport, whilst helping to boost self confidence, help build resilience and promote soft skills.

With a record-breaking R2R25 firmly in the books, we're excited to launch the next challenge, Amsterdam to Paris 2025 turned out to be a ride to test even the most experienced riders. Cancelled flights, brutal headwinds and freezing rain made the journey into Paris one filled with adversity, but also incredible experiences.

The riders far surpassed the predicted target, raising an enormous £125k for the incredible programmes at OITC.

For 2026, we're delighted to be moving the ride slightly further south, and to warmer climes!

We'll be cycling from Toulouse, through the rugby heartlands of Southern France, skirting the Pyrenees, into Northern Spain's stunning San Sebastien, where we'll be based for 2 days.

From there, we'll travel into Bilbao for the EPCR Cup Finals.

The ride will take in some incredible cities, towns, and villages in Southern France and Northern Spain, with terrain to test even the strongest cyclists. Skirting the Pyrenees, and battling the Atlantic winds, with the added bonus of some serious Spring time heat. This years ride will be both beauty, and beast.

Our goal, raising money for the great work OITC undertakes, across the region.
