What a brilliant three days that was! Thank you. I felt sorry on Weds morning that it was all over. The rides and riding is one thing but the camaraderie is really what made it so enjoyable for me. I can see why some people come back for seconds and yes, I hope to do that one day, again riding for WBR.
I happily showed off my bikes tee-shirt and fun medals to my family but the most valuable is the book ‘Live more happy’.I know that I can really take a lot from that book and I intend to put it into practice. I need to smile more.
All the best for the rest of the year!

A greater experience you would be hard to find.

Fantastic cycling adventure of stunning scenery, fabulous folk and friendships created. A wonderful experience of memory making that will truly fill your heart and inspire you to want more. Thank you for the best start to 2020 25000 SPINS – can’t wait to explore London to Paris next year!

Have just completed my 5th 25,000 Spins trip and can’t wait until the next adventure with heart. Craig does a brilliant job of selecting destinations & sorting the background stuff to make it all run smoothly.

Wow, what a ride!!! Had the best time. Great scenery, fantastic people and best of all – doing what I love doing while raising funds for World Bicycle Relief. I keep watching the videos and pictures to relive this most amazing trip. I can’t recommend it highly enough. As an ex MTBer it was my kind of riding, however, due to not having had any time to train for this ride I did it on an e-bike. Best decision as I was able to enjoy the ride, the scenery and even keep up with the fast group while chatting away without getting exhausted. Can’t wait to do more rides with 25000spins. What a great organisation!

Vita

What an excellent trip and a fantastic bunch of people!! Appreciated the encouragement along the way and the van support during the ride! I also really appreciated a little flexibility built in into some days that allowed a quick skinny dip, pear picking and photo moments! Excellent location, accommodation, views and thrills well balanced out with a healthy physical challenge😃 Loved every single bit of it and looking forward to the next adventure with 25000 spins!!

Mary

This was a trip of a lifetime! I loved the camaraderie, the caring support, the beautiful landscapes, the increased fitness and knowing that all the fun I had will benefit people in need.

Jee

Excellent support and company ( friendships). So much motivation, encouragement and humour. Good not just for body, but mind, soul and spirit as well . ( For seniors, it sure is excellent anti-dementia preventive therapy).

Veronica

It was great! The best experience in my life riding Alps to ocean New Zealand with 25000 spins team. Craig did an amazing job organizing the event and accommodation for all of us. The support team were very helpful and friendly.

Keryn

Epic adventure – superb scenery, amazing people and encouraging vibe! Training before hand really paid off!

Adeena 

I was hesitant to be joining the ride, but wearing the Jersey was an incredible feeling! being a part of a big team representing different charities all moving in the same direction had an epic feel about it. What a beautiful way to see one of Australia’s greatest stretches of coastline!

Kate 

I’m so glad that I went on the ride, and that you persisted with me, as it was an amazing experience that I will never forget. What surprised me the most is how mentally refreshed I feel from being forced to switch off, being completely in the moment (surrounded by breath-taking views) and having to make new friends along the way. I can’t speak more highly of it. Thank you so much Craig – you’re doing really amazing things!! 🙂

The 25000Spins adventure was life changing. It was a great ride with amazing people who shared everyone’s pain and joy. There were gorgeous views and stunning locales, it had a good mix of challenging climbs and adrenalin filled straights. The support crew were always there when you needed and we’re always good for a laugh. A true once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Devan 

Fantastic! Great people, great cause, great time!

Tommy 

Awesome trip!

Lisa 

This is a great way to bond with others while achieving a big challenge for yourself. I got to be part of a
great charity, and link the friends who sponsored me to a nonprofit that’s doing good in the world. And then
the challenge of doing this ride helped me stretch myself and learn to depend on others. When I was going
through difficult sections of the ride, I remembered what we were doing it for, the kids who lacked basic
needs, and the many people who sacrificed financially to help with this project. My job was to do the hard
ride, so it motivated me to live up to my part of the combined effort.

Stephen 

Tour well organised and people from all walks of life catered for appropriately. The ride caters for all riders, from slow to fast, hill climbers to level ground. Country side taken showcases the area. Very Enjoyable.

Kylie

These are superb trips that not only raise money to make a real difference for children in need but where you also get to see amazing scenery, make lifelong friendships and get fit doing so. Totally worth the effort of training and fundraising!!!

Keith

Thank you 25000spins for putting together a awesome ride. It was fun and also had its challenging moments on some of the hills. Good support, great location.

Esther

A beautiful route in a beautiful country (I could be biased..) An impeccably organised tour, incredibly supportive crew, catered well to experienced and less experienced riders. A good challenge but definitely worth it. Thanks everyone!

Lorinda

Tiffany

Excellent tour with a mix of scenic cycling with some challenging climbs. Beautiful route along lakes, rivers, mountain passes, and quaint villages. Finished cycling early afternoon daily with time to sightsee and recharge before the next day. Including MTB option in St Moritz was also excellent. Great to be shown around such a magnificent country by a knowledgable guide. Love all the dedicated cycle paths in Switzerland.

Anna

Beautiful!!! Everyone in the world should experience it :).
