This time last year I took the plunge and bought a road bike to train for Pedelle 2018. The whole experience from the training to the ride itself was physically challenging but so fulfilling - an amazing opportunity to meet like-minded people whilst raising money for such a worthy charity.
Coram is one of the UK's first children’s charities, and one of its primary roles is finding loving homes for disadvantaged children in need of adoption, including disabled children, older children and siblings. Thanks for your support of this wonderful charity.Over three days, cyclists will ride from Siena to Rome. They will cover a distance of up to 500km with up to 6000m of climbing.
Flying out to Pisa early on Wednesday 19th June, there will be a coach transfer to your hotel in Siena leaving you with the afternoon to explore the heart of Tuscany and its medieval brick buildings.
On Thursday 20th June you'll start your two-wheeled journey south, through the Chianti olive groves and vineyards, over the hill-top towns and around the lakes. After three challenging days in the saddle you'll arrive in the heart of the Italian capital, Rome, to celebrate with your fellow riders. You are then free to fly home on Sunday 23rd or stay on for a longer break to explore the ancient city and the many masterpieces it has to offer.
