Each year the Oblivion Tour tries to take on a new challenge so that the Tourists can get fit and to raise a little money for charity along the way. So far we've raised over £40,000.
But in 2016, it is time to take on the Ultimate British Cycling challenge - Lands End to John o'Groats.
Cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats, the furthest possible distance in the British Isles, is a classic challenge that many cyclists will dream of.
Starting at Land’s End on the south-westerly tip of England, we will pedal our way through Cornwall, over Dartmoor and north along the Welsh border, skirting the Lake District into Scotland, via lochs and the Highlands to the North Coast and John O’Groats.
In all we will cover roughly 1000 miles, climbing around 50,000 feet of hills (approximately twice the height of Everest) and passing through some of the most stunning and remote countryside in the British Isles.

This is going to be a phenomenally tough challenge, a fabulous way to see the country and, hopefully a great chance to raise money for the great work done by the team at Breast Cancer Care (BCC).
Founded in 1973, BCC are the only UK wide charity providing care, information and support to people affected by breast cancer. - See more at: www.breastcancercare.org.uk/about-us/who-we-are
