I’m taking on Tour de Ovacome – and I’d love your support 🚴‍♂️

In 2021, our good friend Phil's dear friend Debbie lost her courageous battle with ovarian cancer. Whilst it’s important to ride in memory of Debbie and all the positive things she represented, its very much about raising the vital funds Ovacome need to provide training and support for all those impacted by Ovarian cancer.  And that’s where you all come in…

So far YOU have collectively raised just over £130,000 and this year we want to reach £200,000.  Since we started the rides back in 2023 there have been encouraging developments in both diagnosis and treatment of Ovarian cancer but 21 people are diagnosed every day in the UK.  So Ovacome still need your amazing support.

For this year`s challenge 8 of us we will ride through 6 countries in 48 hours.  Starting in France, we will ride across Switzerland into Germany then down via Austria and Leichenstein for a final climb over the Alps into Italy.  500km and 4,000mtrs of climbing.

Ovacome ride through Zurich city centre

Monday 22nd Jun
On Sunday, my son Louis and I rode through Zurich city centre following a mapped out route that spells the word Ovacome.  It was great fun, and took us through the old town, along the main streets, up steps by the university and even through the forest.  It was very hot, but fortunately Zurich is blessed with an abundance of drinking water fountains.  
The resulting Strava map turned out pretty well, thanks to Louis‘s superb navigation skills.  
Enjoy!
