Six blokes, in the distant wake of Lance Armstrong, but for the same cause ...

STOP PRESS...Latest update
Raid completed! This has been one of the hardest physical challenges most of us have ever attempted. After all this hard work if you have not already sponsored us (many thanks to those who have) how about it?

We have all lost friends to or know friends suffering from Cancer and Motorneurone Disease. We are 6 blokes who have, at around 50 plus, reached the col in life and are headed downhill from here. Before the golf course beckons for some (not all).. !

On Sunday 4th October 2009 we commenced our ride from Biarritz on the Atlantic Coast, across all the great Pyrenees climbs to Banyuls on the Mediterranean Coast. Bogner to Brighton is about the most we have done before ...

The comfy saddle sitters are:

Mark Allen - Adhesives Salesman
Pieter Heyn - Computer Salesman
John Wood - Water Ski Salesman
Mike Rimmer - Events Salesman
Mark O'Connor - Wine Salesman
Andrew Garston -Investment Manager

Biarritz to Banyuls, Atlantic to Mediterranean...
...15,000 metres of climbing ...720km ...20+ Cols ...7 days ...each rider will consume 8000Kcal per day or the same as 34 Big Macs 6 Burger Eaters raising money for cancer and motorneurone disease

Follow the Raid Pyrenees on Twitter and Facebook.

Bike 4 Cancer is part of the 4 Cancer Group (UK Charity 1090133) which provides respite opportunities for people and their families living with cancer. The money raised, and £10K is the target, will be used to fund sailing trips in the UK, European family holidays and to buy equipment for the Basingstoke Cancer Centre
