On the road with Europe's longest charity bike ride: 5,400km from Glasgow to Athens
Cycle 500-700km and raise at least £500 for grassroots refugee projects
In your own special way, you'll rapidly become a vital member of a tight-knit little cycling crew - riding your bike, sharing your stories, pitching your tent, doing the dishes from time to time... and always keeping the dream alive! |

Make your job a bit more doable!
We design the routes, lead the rides, find camp, cook dinner, solve most problems and carry all your kit in Calypso, our support van - but don't think that'll make it too easy... Whatever comes at us during the week, we'll tackle it together ✊ |

"I volunteered at Khora for a few weeks last year and I knew I wanted to continue to help in some way. I didn’t know at the time that would mean cycling up and over the Alps!
Lycra stuffed with croissants, supported by a fantastic bunch of people and motivated by one hell of a cause. At the end I was bruised, burnt, and absolutely beaming from ear to ear!" Iona Shaw |

🚴 WEEK BY WEEK 💨
BEST OF BRITISH
This entirely British week was a triumph last year. Climbs and castles in Dumfries and Galloway, poem-inspiring pools in the Lake District and the lush green hills of Shropshire. Plus pubs. Cheers!
|
GOLDILOCKS WEEK
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 👌
|
JEKYLL & HYDE WEEK
First half we roll out of Paris along winding canals and riversides. Then it's up into the hills of the Massif Morvan before turning towards the Jura Mountains and finishing with a big climb up to Lake Geneva
|
MONT BLANC & THE ALPS
A new (and shorter) route through the Alps, filled with stunning views - including Mont Blanc! Punchy climbs are the order of every day so you and your bike will have to be ready to sweat 😅
|
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 - and the pizza makes every climb worthwhile
|
101 DALMATION... HILLS
Perfect for anyone who loves unpredictability, wants a serious physical challenge and loves Google translate. Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Croatia again - glorious!
|
MACEDONIAN MOUNTAINS
For people who LOVE not knowing what’s round the corner (probably a hill / gravel / borek). There’s so much adventure in Albania and Macedonia that we had to add a 7th cycling day to cram it all in
|
THE BIG FINISH
Mount Olympus and the mythical island of Evia. beach campsites and mountain climbs. Plus that first glimpse of Athens after 5,200km of Steely adventure. Yassou!
