*UPDATE*

Our team of hardy cyclists completed the route from Newcastle to London on the 9th September when they made the last emotional push pedalling over London's Tower Bridge. A torrential downpour of rain welcomed them into the capital city where the ride all started 14 years ago. A big heartfelt thank you from the team for all the sponsorship support so far !

Nineteen riders will take on the final Leg of the Dransfield Tour of Europe ride in September – it’s the last time that the team will ride together after their epic journey has taken them across Europe, picking up a leg of their journey every year since June 2007.

The 14th and final leg of the charity event will see the riders cover 335 miles cycling from Newcastle to London – where the marathon fundraising effort started. More than £546,000 has been raised for charity since that first ride from London to Paris and 5,000 miles covered.

As well as raising funds for St Luke's Hospice in Sheffield the ride will also raise money for The Dransfield Foundation and Action Against Cancer.

The foundation has helped dozens of charities, large and small over the last 14 years through the bike ride.

The riders set out on Monday 5th September from Newcastle and will arrive in London on Friday 9th.

Over the years the ride has taken the cyclists on tough rides through 14 countries from London, Paris, Lyon, Marseilles, Portofino, Rome, Dubrovnik, Trieste, Munich, Berlin, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stavanger and Aberdeen.
