Europe Coast2Coast covers 10 countries from the Atlantic in the West to The Black Sea in the East, and is approximately 3,000 miles (5,000km) long.

Eurovelo 6 is a route we’ve both known about for years, but to be honest Paul has pushed the issue, but a little goes a long way with Doug, and as such, Doug heads off from home in Bournemouth England on 28 August to rendezvous with Paul in St. Nazaire, France on 31 August for our big ride east towards Romania and a swim in The Black Sea!

We are fully intending to Cyclo-Camp the entire route, and we are expecting it will take approximately 2 months to complete.

Needless to say, although we are attempting this crazy ride for adventure seeking fun, the serious side is to harness the generosity of our very many friends from our 130 yrs of combined life to do some good. Paul and I both have a great interest in supporting the Motor Neuron Disease (ALS in Canada&USA) Research charitable efforts. This debilitating disease is taking, or has taken friends from all of us, including numerous sports personalities, all recently made more public in The UK through the gargantuan efforts of the rugby community. This disease knows no bounds and blights the life of not just the victim, be also their families and friends. There simply is not enough support for this disease.

Please can you help support our crazy adventurous challenge by helping us in any way you can!

Special mention goes to our dear wives Maria and Deborah for their ongoing tolerance….. perhaps we should really be acting our age, but hell, that would be boring!!

If you wish to follow our exploits there will be daily posts on Strava via your smart phone app…. Look for Doug Ramsay, or Paul Bergson!

Or via our blog,

Thanks very much in anticipation!
