You don't need to be an athlete to enjoy this
charity bicycle ride, although some
training is advisable before undertaking this challenge (a training plan
will be provided). Some
people take part with friends or family, but most people come on their
own. A great way to make new friends and
raise money for CRY!
In order for you to be able to take part in this fantastic
charity bicycle ride, we ask you to first
make a non-refundable deposit of £349. The rest of the trip's
expenses will be FREE providing you raise a minimum amount of £2650 in sponsorship money. CRY will receive at least £1325 for each
fundraiser who takes part in this event.
Some participants choose to pay the deposit out of their own pocket,
whilst others will do this initially and then later reimburse themselves
from sponsorship money collected (from any monies raised over and above
the event's minimum sponsorship level).
This event will be taking
place from 4th to 16th
November 2008 and from 24th October to 5th November 2009. This should give you
plenty of preparation time (e.g. to gather sponsors; book time off work; get in
better shape, etc). Fundraising
help - we can help your fundraising by offering you a personal
online sponsorship / donations web page free of charge.

 "Our
final cycling day is possibly the most breathtaking ride of the challenge.
Today is a long day so we have an early start.
An excellent smooth surface makes cycling a joy today as we pedal through
some of the most amazing scenery we’ve
experienced so far as we head up to Heaven’s Gate. We then enjoy a
thrilling 16km downhill into Sapa where we have a chance to relax before
our celebratory meal."
