Mountain biking has taken us to a variety of amazing locations across the world - from places close to home such as Wales and Scottland, to countries a little further afield such as Canada and Andorra. 

Be that as it may, its time to hang up our baggy DH gear and slip into some snug lycra shorts as we embark upon our next journey: a 2500 mile road trek to Corfu.

Setting off from home, we will ferry across to Holland then head south down through Belgium and Germany. We shall then face our biggest challange, the austrian alps, before dropping down through the Italian Dolomites and then along the beautiful coastline before catching a ferry to our final destination.

It would be greatly appreciated and mean so much, not just to us, but to all of those people whose lives are affected by Leukemia, if you could donate to this cause and help to reach our goal, and perhaps even beyond.

Keep up to date with our trip by liking and following this page, where we will be posting updates, checking in to different places along the way and uploading photos:

We are very sad to hear that a dear friend, Daniela Louisa, has just been diagnosed with agressive stage 2 breast cancer. Although she has had the lump removed, it has spread to a lymph node and she is undertaking a course of chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. As she is now a resident of the US, her private medical bills are overwhelming her and her husband, also a very dear friend, as they fight to beat the disease. Please take a quiet moment of reflection to imagine what they must be going through, and visit their donation page (yes, too) at http://www.gofundme.com/cancer-my-biggest-fight. Keep your head up Daniela.

The father of a friend from university has just been diagnosed with Leukemia, so would you please also take time to visit https://www.facebook.com/spit4dad and potentially help him find a bone marrow donor.
