Their journey will start from London’s Ace Café before winding through the Champagne region, Dijon, Montpellier and Barcelona, soaking up the local culture before eventually arriving at the circuit in time for the GP race weekend on 5/6 November.

"This is a trip that Danny and I planned last year” said Steve Keys, ”and originally it was going to be the two of us riding to the GP to have some fun. Now it seems to have gathered some pace and turned into an opportunity to raise awareness and funds for Riders for Health. We are both really pleased and excited about the response from everyone we have spoken to about it and the offers of support have come flooding in. When we spoke to Matt about it he jumped at the chance to join us and we couldn't be more pleased about having him on board."

Bike Trac Marketing Manager Neil Kupier commented “It’s great to be involved and supporting such an amazing and worthwhile cause as Riders for Health. I think the Bike Trac units will add a great interactive element to the trip and allow friends and fans to track the journey. Everyone at Bike Trac wishes all the guys the best of luck with the trip and I hope they raise a substantial amount of money for a much deserved cause.”
