We tackle the toughest 200 mile charity bike ride through Wales. It nearly wrecked us. Our electric bikes, usually used to explore quaint European towns, weren’t enough to spare us the pain of pushing them up massive mountain climbs. Downhill, where speeds neared 40km per hour were equally scary!
From steep hills to treacherous cow grates and bleeding injuries, this was the toughest charity bike ride ever, particularly for an over 50’s couple who are not as fit as we’d like to be. It was also the best thing we’ve done in a very long time and we are grateful to have added this experience to our European motorhome adventure. Not only did we get to help raise money for a great cause, we were fortunate enough to meet 40 new friends.

Watch us get out of the motorhome, onto a bike and receive a giant wake up call as we take on the most difficult physical challenge we’ve had in years.
