Nantwich Friends Complete Epic Cycling Challenge
A group of young cyclists from Nantwich have completed a 3,184km fundraising ride from England to Asia in 26 days, raising over £5,700 for charity.
James Redwood, Will Rowlands, Kieron Lawton, and Ewan Davies set off from Buckingham Palace, accompanied by support van driver Jude Metz, to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support and Alzheimer's Society.
- They faced numerous setbacks, including having their support van towed away and the support driver being denied entry to the Turkish border.
- On the final day, they endured 30-degree heat, 30mph headwinds, and 1800m elevation, cycling into the night on mountainous roads.
- At one point, they were stranded without food, kit, or camping gear for four days.
Despite the challenges, they battled through to the end, crossing the finish line at the Blue Mosque in Istanbul.
The group's determination and perseverance paid off, helping to raise a significant amount for their chosen charities.
