More Information
Along the way the charity cyclists will experience rural England, Holland and Belgium and return on the world famous Eurostar, a unique travel experience in itself.
Cycling is possibly the best way of experiencing the surroundings, and although this charity challenge will be hard going at times, the chance to cycle into the heart of Amsterdam and Brussels will be very special. The cycling will be varied passing through English suburbia, Essex wetlands, Dutch hamlets, tulip fields, Belgian villages and Europe’s most historic cities.
Each night we will be treated to high quality local restaurant food and stay in high standard hotels.
The bike ride route covers approximately 300 miles, mostly on minor roads and lanes. You will be supported along the way by Across the Divide cycling guides and challenge medics who will ensure your safety and well being, and logistical staff who will ensure that everything is prepared ahead of your arrival.
If you require any further information on this charity bike ride please contact Susan.
