Ritchie, Chris (Dunelm Glass) & Ade (IF Solutions) are taking part in a charity bike ride in June, the Italian Challenge is a gruelling coast to coast trip across Italy starting in Pisa and ending in Venice.

Sounds like a pleasant ride? No way, what you may not know is that we have to cross the extremes of the Apennine Mountains with climbs up to 6620 metres!!
The Italian Challenge is an epic cycle ride from the Mediterranean coastline of Italy to the Adriatic.

Cross the Tuscan Hills and the Apennine Mountains before visiting the mountain principality of San Marino and descending to the coastline in the west.
Sounds idyllic don’t it? Thing is, the 3 of us are not sportsmen by any stretch of the imagination! 

We are all in our 40’s and like our food & beer. I think we will need a few days to recover at the finish and some kind of special ointment to heal our sore bottoms!

WHY DO THIS?

What is the Foundation of Light? The Foundation of Light exists to involve, educate, inspire and motivate. It uses a universal love of football to bring people of all backgrounds together, to provide them with opportunities to flourish and grow, and to show what each of us can truly achieve when we are given a genuine sense of purpose, pride and belonging.
The registered charity of Sunderland AFC, the Foundation of Light is structurally and financially independent of the football club and relies on fundraising for 90% of project costs. Last year we worked with 42,000 people in Sunderland, South Tyneside and Durham.
