To raise money for The MS Trust, Birmingham Children's Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, Cancer Research and MIND, Team ride2spa cycled from Silverstone, the UK's most iconic race circuit, to Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, the most historic race on the Formula One calendar.
Starting on Monday 27th August 2012 with a lap of Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit, the challenge was to cycle for 4 days, covering over 400 miles, and to arrive at Spa, Belgium, on Thursday 30th August 2012.
Here you will find information on the Charities we supported, the route we took, the timescales involved in completing each stage of the ride, along with information on accommodation and equipment we needed to take part.
ride2spa was fully funded by all the riders taking part, meaning every penny raised went directly to the 5 charities we supported.
