Zeebrugge to Marseille - 2 men, 2 bikes, 1100 Km

Down Hill Cyclists

The Route

On the 28th of August, the team leaves Edinburgh for Brussels. How we're each getting there is a bit of a complex matter. When we saw how hard it was going to be to book flights, we booked the first seats we could get our hands on... only to be given a support vehicle that Grant now has to drive from Glenrothes to Zeebrugge! Never mind, we'll get there, and when we do, Ernie and Keith will be right on the bikes.

Over the following 12 days, the guys will clock between 50 and 120 km per day in a bid to cover the 1155 km to Marseille, not including the 'wee trip' up Mont Ventoux that's planned!

Take a look at the itinerary below to see where the winding road will be taking the team through France.
