A few weeks ago Dave and Dom took on the monster challenge of a 1150km bike challenge for Make-A-Wish Charity, which took them around the UK from Bournemouth to Newcastle visiting all of the 20 Premier League Football grounds. This took them 5 days riding over 200km each day.

Make-A-Wish is an amazing charity which makes dreams come true for children who have a critical illness. And Dave & Dom would like to thank everyone who has donated for such an important charity.
