Cycle Challenges
Since 2008 PACE's four Cycle Challenges have raised over £250,000! You can help add to that incredible total in 2012...
23rd to 30th September 2012, the Viva España Cycle Challenge
The 2012 PACE ride from North to South, across Spain. A 5 day ride from Bilbao to Barcelona. That’s around 500 miles in 5 days, and takes in the lower slopes of the Pyrenees, but not the Tourmalet, although there could also be opportunities to select tougher climbs along route, to test yourself further!
Choice of flight out from a London airport to Bilbao on Sunday evening 23 September. Ride begins early Monday 24 September, arriving Barcelona Friday 28 September.
The weekend of the 29/30 September is a time to relax in beautiful Barcelona, and is an ideal opportunity for family and friends to come and meet you for the weekend.
The personal contribution is £375pp (£150 deposit to secure your place, followed by £225 balance in August 2012). This represents amazing value for a 5 day cycling trip, 7 nights B&B accommodation, two flights and full van support. PACE will help and motivate you to raise as much money as possible for this incredible cycle challenge across Spain.
