Supporting Breakthrough T1D

Every pedal stroke supports vital Type 1 Diabetes research through Breakthrough T1D. This cause is close to our hearts, and together we can make a real difference in the lives of millions affected by T1D worldwide.

"Completing the 2,800km ride from Milton Keynes to Naples in 2025 was life-changing. The stunning Alpine scenery, the challenge of climbing 16km of elevation, and knowing every pedal stroke supported Type 1 Diabetes research made it unforgettable. Join us in 2026 for an even more incredible journey!"
