WE ARE IN GIBRALTAR!
Finished, 57 days after we began. We clearly miscalculated our 2000km target and ended up doing 3,163km. Little did we know France was flat and Spain was incredibly mountainous. We climbed 20,605m over the whole trip (2 and half mount Everest’s).
We are so so chuffed to have made it after some seriously brutal days/weeks of riding and we can’t think everyone enough for the support given throughout.
We want to say thanks to everyone who helped us along the way with accommodation, bike repairs and directions. We couldn’t have done this without you.
Can honestly say this has been one of the best things we have ever done however challenging it became.
We will be forever grateful for the generosity shown towards helping us in raising money for Breast Cancer Research. Thank you everyone!!! The Breast Cancer Site, Cancer Research UK
Biker Boys OUT.

3,037km completed so far!
After a few monumental days of riding, some terrible weather, a snapped pannier rack and a broken wheel which we hope will last the remaining journey we are a mere 115km from Gibraltar!!!
Absolutely chuffed to say we are up to £2,971 raised for Breast Cancer Research. A massive thanks for everyone that’s donated so far.
FINAL BIG PUSH TOMORROW to arrive on Thursday! 🤙🏽

3 becomes 2...
Wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone that donated, supported and encouraged us along the way. I'm chuffed to have managed to hit the 2000km mark but sad that it's come to an end.
I'll be with you in spirit til the end bois

We’ll miss France’s long flat roads and tasty baguettes but we’ve now crossed onto Spanish shores.
After a stormy night in a shack we’ve had a steep and windy start to our Spanish leg but the warmer climate has been a very welcome change.
Fun fact: We climbed 1/8th of the height of amount Everest today. Should be a decent sunrise over the Pyrenees tomorrow morning.
Again, thanks to everyone who’s continuing to donate! We’re chuffed to be able to say we’ve reached £1,735 of our £2,000 target.
