On 3rd July 2010 an intrepid band of cyclists will gather in Seaton, Devon, to embark on one the Britain’s last great sporting challenges – to circumnavigate the coast by bicycle. Keeping the sea to their right for 64 days the riders will never lose the sight, smell or sound of the sea during their epic 6600km pedal for charity.
This will be the inaugural Great Tour, which will become an annual charity bike ride.
Many of the riders will be taking part for a week or perhaps two, so far, only four are registered to ride all of the 64 days without a rest and Alistair Cope of Velo Ventures is one.
Alistair has been working for The Great Tour as their South West Manager and has established the route between Bristol to Studland, the toughest section of the whole Tour. Alistair is riding The Great Tour, not only as a guide but also to raise funds for The Prostate Cancer Charity and to promote the South West Tour Ride.
Alistair would like to thank Chris Davies of Qoroz for supplying him with a Road Won for this epic challenge!
I would like to saya big "thank you" to Brooks, for literally supporting me on The Great Tour. I have spent many happy and comfortable hours on a B17 and now I'm settling into one of their Team Pro Titanium saddles.
