The Journey Begins!

This week marks the start of Beyond the Bike: The Next Revolution.

The first few days of this epic adventure will see a group of us putting on our lycra early Saturday morning and departing from the leafy suburbs of London to cycle 4 countries in 4 days - that’s (nearly) 400 miles...

Our team is joining Beyond the Bike for their warm up ride, cycling from London to Amsterdam.

Stuart and Claire will then be cycling more than 10,000km through Southern Africa and Asia raising money for Beyond Ourselves in Zambia and United World Schools in Asia.

Visit the Beyond The Bike website for more details about Stuart, Claire and their challenge. Or watch this fantastic 3 minute video:



Beyond the Bike is also an exciting educational project; following the route of natural resources from African mine to Asian factory, connecting classrooms and sharing resources worldwide. Using smartphones to record the journey they will be partnered with Fairphone, a mobile phone company that puts social values first, based in Amsterdam. From there they will fly to Uganda to start their big adventure.

It would be great if you could join us in giving Stuart and Claire an encouraging start to their ride and to raise funds for Beyond Ourselves and United World Schools. Click here to make a donation:
