On Tuesday 15th September 2009 a group of ordinary cyclists, with a penchant for tight fitting lycra, will make an extraordinary journey.
We will be starting at Jealott’s Hill near Bracknell and visit Syngenta sites at Guildford and Basel before we finish at Stein, Switzerland.
•We will cover over 520 miles in 7 days.
•We will climb 5692 m (equivalent to cycling up Kilimanjaro)!
•On average, we will be burning 5000 calories a day.
•It’s more than likely that we’ll be a little saddle sore by the time we get to Switzerland!

We are seeking your support by donating to the Build Africa, Build a Farm Project. Our fundraising page is posted at http://www.justgiving.com/cycle2basel4africa/ We chose this charity as the project funded will make a real difference to the lives of subsistence farmers in Uganda, by helping them to improve their farming practice. A very big Thankyou to the very generous Syngenta work colleagues, friends and family who have already donated.

After an arduous day in the saddle we intend to keep you updated daily with route news, our latest antics and how many bananas Bob has eaten
