Barca to Liverpool
Just wanted to informn some of you that 2 Norwich fans cycled from Barca 2 Liverpool in 9.5 days, 1115 miles was the total mileage and there were 8 cyclists in total, The support vehicle was also manne by 2 Norwich fans
The total amount raised for the charity has still not been announced and we are still collecting at User Posted Link
I think you will all agree, it is an amazing feat to complete the ride. The rough route is also on the website. The first two days were very difficult in the sweltering heat trying to cycle up the mountains, coming down was great fun and quite chilly.
During France we had to endure many hours of rain and were soaked through when arriving at our destinations for the evening on at least 5 or 6 occassions
The plans were to meet a few people on route but due to certain football clubs not doing press before mid day these had to be scrapped, we couldn't expect to ride 136 miles in one day and not leave until after mid-day
