It is time for another epic cycling challenge!

In 2013 I joined a group of cyclists to ride from Blackpool Tower in England to the Eiffel Tower in Paris (‘Tower to Tower’). It was an amazing experience and the group have continued taking on similar challenges every second year since, whilst also raising money for a range of charities.

This year we will be cycling a section of La Vélodyssée, the French part of the Atlantic Coast Route EuroVelo 1, that crosses Brittany and along the Atlantic to the Basque Coast. Le Grand Depart will be from Roscoff on Sunday 7th September and we will be cycling up to 100 km per day on gravel paths for 6 days.

All of the riders will be raising awareness and, with your help and generosity, some much needed funding for the Aspergillosis Trust. Lisa McNeil, the wife of fellow cyclist Darren, suffers from this debilitating disease and she is also the Chair of the Trust, which is run entirely by volunteers. Aspergillosis is becoming more and more prominent and the vision of the Trust is to achieve the best outcomes for all patients, until such time as a cure can be found.
