About Mark McCaughrean

Profile picture

I ride my bike. A lot. And normally I do it just for myself, to look after my physical and mental health. It's a completely central and vital part of my life.

But once a year, I ride with others in mind, because not everyone in the world is lucky enough to be able to look after themselves, and they need help from us. Raising money for charity is one way of doing that.

And who better to do it with than my friend and Space Rocks partner, Alex Milas. He's a leading light behind Heavy Metal Truants and it only feels right to join in.

So if you can afford to, please chip in – there's no catch, no trick, and no overheads. Just charity. All I can offer you in return is good karma and a few more photos from my cycle rides.

We've all perhaps struggled to look after ourselves in the past year, but others have had it far worse and many will continue to do so for reasons beyond their control – let's help.

About HMT 2021: Nine Lives - Virtual Challenge

Since 2013 the Heavy Metal Truants have cycled from London to the hallowed grounds of Castle Donington and Download Festival. Open to all, our charity ride has seen metal fans, bands, and industry types getting on their bikes and raising over £800,000 in the process. 

Our chosen charities, who work so hard to support children and young people, need our support now more than ever. And so we call on all metalheads from around the world to join us in the name of heavy metal.

Between May 24th and June 6th, the weekend of Virtual Download Festival, we invite you to enter the annals of Heavy Metal Truants fame with challenges from cycling, walking, running, and many more. All proceeds will go to Teenage Cancer Trust, Childline, Nordoff Robbins and Save the Children who’ve been hit hard by these troubled times and have continued to do their work through it all.

The Challenges

If you’re a first-time adventurer or a seasoned endurance athlete, there’s a Heavy Metal Truants event made for you.
