The team, captained by Philip Lancaster, cycled an impressive 1,353 miles to cover the full distance from Harrogate in Yorkshire to Tangiers in Morocco. They have raised £935 in the process through generous donations from family and friends.

 

The seven team members cycled much of the distance during a weekend ride through the Yorkshire Dales, overcoming the wind, sleet and steep hills to rack up over 100 miles each and complete their challenge. It was a great team effort that has raised lots of money for a very worthwhile cause.

 

If you fancy a cycling challenge to Africa – and something more than a virtual journey – why not sign up for our Malawi Bike Ride in summer 2011? Or, if you can’t wait that long to get involved, take a look at our 10k Summer Run which takes place on Sunday 11 July 2010.
