In 2014 we have planned...

May – Croatia for Norwood – not quite a repeat of the 2011 Ride. But this time a seasoned group of cyclists will ride  more challenging distances over 3 full days based in Makarska on the Dalmatian Riviera. Riding will include 2 islands and a classic climb up Croatia’s ‘Mont Ventoux’ – a 5500ft climb with stupendous views over the coast and islands and views into Bosnia from the summit.

May – Croatia for PPP- Project Finance – after an industry conference in Zagreb, those who are keen cyclists will transfer to Dubrovnik to cycle Jonathan’s original route to Makarska via the Peljesac Peninsular and the islands of Korcula and Hvar. An exciting Ride of mountain and coastal scenery all the way including 2 ferries and a private speed boat transfer.

July – Copenhagen to Berlin – for Tech Bikers Germany – from the enthusiasm generated by the Prague- Berlin ride in 2013, the same organisers plan to run another ride into Berlin from a neighbouring country capital. Copenhagen fits the bill perfectly – with the prospect of a long (250 mile plus) 3 day ride including the ferry between Denmark and Germany. Once again a brand new ride being pioneered by Jonathan Friend’s team which will include both German and Danish expertise.

September – Paris to London  - for Tech Bikers UK – a 3rd repeat of this successful formula which again is sure to  attract 70 new riders to raise funds for Room to Read.
In 2014, there are also plans being discussed for a Tech Bikers Ireland Ride on the West Coast of Ireland and a Corporate ‘open challenge’ from London to Paris
