How 25000spins began

25000spins first adventure

25000spins first   charity cycle  event was in 2009. From London to Paris then onto Athens.

The Journey Begins
25000spins was born from a passion for adventure and giving back. It all began when Craig Shipton and Trent Jaques embarked on an epic cycling journey from Paris to Italy, traversing the breathtaking Swiss Alps. While Trent concluded his adventure in Italy, Craig pressed on solo, cycling all the way to Athens. The journey officially kicked off on July 22, 2009, with Craig Shipton and 17 other cyclists, a support vehicle, and a film crew setting out from London. Their mission? To make a difference by raising £25,000 for children in need. This goal wasn’t just a number—it symbolized the 25,000 children who die each day from preventable causes, things that money and care can solve. Along the way, the group also set their sights on Paris, aiming to arrive in time for the grand finale of the Tour de France. Cycling through France with a group of like-minded individuals was exhilarating—five days of touring, camaraderie, and purpose that left a lasting impression. That first trip was filled with unforgettable highs and a few challenges—like a crash in Croatia that led to a hospital visit and an unexpected encounter with the police. These experiences ignited a lifelong commitment to combining epic cycling adventures with meaningful impact. Since then, 25000spins has grown into a movement, empowering cyclists to turn their love for adventure into a force for good. The name itself carries profound meaning: 25,000 spins of the pedals each day on the journey to Athens, 25,000 reasons to push forward, and the drive to make a tangible difference in the lives of 25,000 children. The London to Athens ride is a testament to this mission, offering cyclists the chance to experience incredible landscapes, push their limits, and make a real difference in the world. From the historic streets of London to the stunning shores of Greece, this ride is more than just a journey—it's a way to give back while achieving something extraordinary.
