Story

In Memory of Debbie Baldwin

We are at it again with at least one new recruit. Stu, Steve, Phil, Dan, Simon, Tux, Ali and Rob will this year take on another enormous challenge.

For this years challenge we will ride from Milan (over the Gotthard Pass) to arrive back in Zurich inside 24 hrs. 300km and 3,600 metres of leg snapping climbing, but at least we all get to sleep in our own beds after the finish.

In 2021, our good friend Debbie lost her brave battle with ovarian cancer. Debbie fought that battle head on and continued advocating for the early detection of the symptoms of ovarian cancer, and working closely with Ovacome throughout the period of her treatment.

We and Ovacome, would really appreciate your support again and it makes such a huge difference to all the guys when we start to suffer (which we all will at some point!). We have raised 100k GBP over the last two rides and we hope we can generate the same level of phenomenal support this year.
