Taking on this gruelling challenge are Ian Maclean and Andy Soloman. They are putting their bodies through a month long tour of the country, away from their families and loved ones. Taking in the highlights of the UK whilst battling with prolonged periods on their bikes, weather conditions, homesickness and possibly even saddle sore.

Ian Maclean is the Franchise Director at Belvoir and decided to undertake the challenge to mark a long term goal off of his bucket list and to celebrate his 60th birthday. 

Ian has chosen CRISIS as his charity to ride for. CRISIS support people out of homelessness for good, through education, training and support with housing, employment and health. They offer one to one support, advice and courses for homeless people in 12 areas across England, Scotland and Wales.

Andy Soloman was the founder of Yomdel, the UK’s leading live chat provider, and he also spent many years as a photographer and foreign correspondent.

Having travelled extensively, Andy has chosen to support Just a Drop, an amazing charity that believes everyone, everywhere, should have access to clean water as a basic right and who wants to see a world where everyone has clean water and adequate sanitation. A child somewhere dies every two minutes from a lack of access to clean water and Just a Drop support marginalised people across the world through community-led development, rather than aid.
