Below are a few of our previous cycling tours, road races and fundraising events that we have completed over the years, some of which we organised ourselves, each one has raised funds and helped make a difference to someones life.
Chris & Gabs Tour of Europe – 5000km Tour – July 2016.

On this tour we cycled from the North West of England (Thistleton, Preston) heading south through London, we then took the ferry from Dover over to Calais and cycled through Belgium, then straight down the middle of France via Paris to the coastal town of Perpignan, from there we crossed the old border of France and Spain and hugged the coast of Southern Spain finishing in Malaga.
