Story

🚴‍♂️ We are Riding Through History – And Probably a Few Blisters Too 😅

This year, CRAFT NE are taking on the Big Battlefield Bike Ride – a 4-day, pedal-powered adventure from Buckingham Palace to Rheine! Why? Because history, honour, and a bit of saddle soreness are totally worth it 💥

We’re following the path of WWII Allied Forces, celebrating the 80th Anniversary of VE Day and Armed Forces Day – but with more sweat and less camouflage.

We’ll be cycling through historic sites, dodging headwinds, making terrible snack choices, and raising money to support veterans and their families. Every mile we ride helps change lives – and I can’t think of a better reason to keep pushing those pedals (even when our legs say NOPE).

Expect updates full of: ✅ Wobbly selfies ✅ Questionable tan lines ✅ Possibly emotional moments ✅ Definitely a lot of laughs

🚨 Follow along, cheer us on, and if you can, chip in to support this
