Cycle London to Edinburgh in 37 Hours
21 - 22 June 2013

The concept is simple - as a two man team you and your team mate will cycle from London to Edinburgh in 37 hours, to highlight that over 37,000 men are diagnosed with a male cancer every year.  You will take it in turns to cycle and rest as we pedal north, non-sop through the night and following day.

The route is broken down into defined stages, each about 35 miles or 2 hours cycling duration.  Team riders will alternate cycling one stage on, one stage off, including two/three night stages.  Each rider will be in the saddle for up to 200 miles during this fast paced 37 hours challenge.

This is a grueling, unique challenge that will call on stamina and mental determination as well as your fitness.  You'll be very glad to see the Scottish border!
