Starting out in Gateshead, close to the Metro Centre; at midday the first groups of the 500 strong field will set out on a truly momentous journey – 300 miles south to the finish line near the Olympic Park in London. A true test of endurance cycling – through the day and night, long stretches of flat tarmac on the eastern side of the country, fully supported all the way, food and drink en route and a celebration at the end. This is not a race – its a 24 hour endurance challenge worthy of a Gold Medal!
