Join us for a week of Europe's longest charity bike ride, as we pedal more than 5,000km from Glasgow to Athens
Picture
SORRY - NOW SOLD OUT :)
​Our first ever entirely British week - and it's a cracker! Climbs and castles in Dumfries and Galloway, poem-inspiring ponds in the Lake District and the lush green hills of Shropshire.

SORRY - NOW SOLD OUT :)
​Set among corn fields and medieval villages on both sides of the Channel, the route is packed with Goldilocks rolling hills, never too long or too steep - they’re just right!

3 SPACES LEFT!
Filled with stunning alpine views - but you have to work hard to get them. You'll climb to over 2000m, so you and your bike will have to be ready for serious hours in the saddle.

BEST WEEK ON THIGHS
Inspiring Italian Alps and shimmering mountain lakes: the Dolomites will knock your cycling socks off. Best week on Thighs according to our founders!

Picture
SORRY - NOW SOLD OUT :)
​Mount Olympus and the mythical island of Evia. beach campsites and mountain climbs. Plus that first glimpse of Athens after 5,000km of Steely adventure. Yassou!

Obviously, this is not the exact route. Unless we all grow wings.
Don’t expect hotels or showers...

​Just an unforgettable adventure when you don’t know where you’ll sleep that night, the mountain never ends and you embrace the unknown. ​Ride with a tight-knit group of awesome humans, supported by our beloved van Calypso, and fundraise for grassroots projects that support refugees

Since Thighs started in 2016, we've cycled more than 23,000KM and raised over half a million quid

Together we can do something amazing!
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
We have a sliding scale of payment options, depending on your situation. For all options, you can pay in one transaction or two equal monthly instalments.

1. Standard = £410
Straight up!  This'll be perfect for most people :)

2. Low Income = £250 
This is for you if you are not able to afford the standard £410. These places are intended for people who do low-paid solidarity work with refugees and asylum seekers, or for people with low income who often worry about and sometimes struggle to meet basic needs. If this describes you, please take one of these places :)

3. Buy One, Give One = £570
Most tours like ours are double the price. We keep the price lower than most so that it's financially accessible to more people. If you can afford to contribute an extra £160, then that'll help us offer bursary places and low income discounts to those who need them, helping us keep a fun mixture of people from different backgrounds and lifestyles. Thank you! 💚

4. Bursary = £0 + we give you £200 for expenses
Bursary places are usually saved for people who spend lots of time volunteering or who are out of work, particularly migrants who don’t have the right to work. If this is you, please get in touch with us at hello@thighsofsteel.com

NOTE: This money only covers the costs of the trip. The £500 minimum fundraising is separate and goes directly to support grassroots refugee projects.

This is an adventure and the route is guaranteed to change for a million reasons we can't even imagine yet.

Distances and climbing are an average. Some days will be bigger than others. You've been warned!

​p.s. Zoom in if you're looking on a phone!
