You’ll be supported throughout the ride by professional rider guides, support vehicles and mechanical assistance. Daily route briefings and GPX files will also be provided to help you feel prepared for each stage.

If you would prefer your own room, you can request this when signing up. We will confirm the price closer to the event date, but it is expected to be £250 to £300. The single room supplement is not included in your registration fee or fundraising target, so you’ll need to pay this separately.
