Every year we work hard to ensure that the ride is challenging, but also picturesque and enjoyable, and we try to show people parts of the world they might not ordinarily go to“I think we’ve definitely achieved that with this next route and I can’t wait to see people’s reaction to it.” Phil King, Foundation of Light Commercial Director added: “Our International Cycle Challenge has become our annual flagship fundraising event and raises tens of thousands every year to help those in need across the North East. “Despite it being a very fun and rewarding event there is a very real need in our communities for the funds this generates.” To secure a place on the 2019 cycle challenge riders need to pay £250 registration fee and pledge to fundraise a further £1450. This covers the cost of flights, accommodation, meals, bike transport and bike support team. There are only 40 places available on the challenge. The International Cycle Challenge is sponsored by Grafton Group plc.
