Andy Jansons, Paul Nash and Saar Sharon will be driving a support vehicle for the riders, encouraging and cheering them on their way.  It is a gruelling 2- day challenge that will raise much needed funds for the Alexander Jansons Foundation.  The event starts at 9am on Monday the 9th October, more info to follow.

The Great Hotel Bike Ride cyclists are attempting to tackle the challenging distance from London to Manchester. The aim is to arrive for the start of this year’s Annual Hotel Conference.

The route escapes London heading due north, picking its way between the commuter towns of St Albans, Luton and Stevenage. Carving through the rolling hills of Northamptonshire and taking a subtle change in course, the cyclists then navigate the UK’s industrial heartland – skirting Rugby, Leicester and Burton-on-Trent.

Derbyshire will be the largest challenge to weary legs as the cyclists will attempt to tame the Peak District’s prehistoric landscape and unpredictable elements – climbing to a height of 399 metres above sea level. The descent into Stockport should provide a brief respite before the final run-in to Manchester and the finish line at the foot of the iconic Beetham tower.

Any donation you make is greatly appreciated and will give the cyclists a greater incentive to reach the goal.

All the donated money goes directly into the two charities split 50/50.

Mustard Tree and the Alexander Jansons Foundation

Thank you for supporting team and chosen charities!
