Welcome.................

The ride2give team are a bunch of cyclists whose aim is to raise money each year for worthwhile causes.

We decided to put our annual mileage to good use and formed a small team to undertake the LEJOG in June 2008; raising over £12,000 for our chosen charities. In 2010 we joined forces with other like minded friends and colleagues from all over the world to undertake a great challenge, Sydney to Melbourne across the Australian moutain range. So where to next for 2012? Well we intend to cycle from Paris to Barcelona, a distance of around 1,200km..

The Next challenge

So what are we up to in May 2012. We intend to cycle 1,200 km in 9 days from Paris to Barcelona all in aid of our chosen charities.

As usual we have a lot to do before we undertake this mammoth task. The Australian team members intend to fly to Paris in early May. On arrival they will meet up with the UK team to finalise those last minute arrangements whilst trying to acclimatise to the European weather and overcome the dreaded jet lag. Within a few days of their arrival the team will be off, cycling south through the centre of France to our final destination in Barcelona, Spain.

The route we plan to take will take us through the French regions of Ile-de-France, Centre, Auvergne and Midi-Pyrénées before crossing into Spain to ride through the Aragon and Catalonia is regions. The route starts in the capital of France and passes through a variety of landscapes including rolling hills, farmland and onto the mountainous region of the Pyrenees. This journey is challenging in both the mountainous terrain it covers and its duration, requiring us to cover up to 160km per day for 9 days without a rest day.

IT WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF:

So why do we need everyone's support? Well first and foremost we need to raise as much money as possible for our chosen charities.

www.helpforheroes.org.uk

Help for heroes (H4H) is an independent British charity, founded by Bryn and Emma Parry in October 2007 out of a desire to help members of the Armed Forces who have been injured in the course of serving their country.

The young men and women of the Armed Forces will say that they are not heroes; they will tell you that they are just doing their job. It is Help for Heroes’ belief that anyone who volunteers to serve in a time of war, knowing that they may risk all, is a hero. These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things and some of them are living with the consequences of their service for life.
