Brest2Ars is a charity bike ride from Brest in Finisterre, Western France to Ars on Île de Ré. What started as a puerile joke in the pub 3 years ago became the first ever joint cycling fundraiser for Breast Cancer Care and Prostate Cancer UK.


Between them, B2A 2013 and 2014 raised over £25,000 for both our nominated charities and were memorable events for all those who took part or were involved in some way.

In 2015 B2A took a holiday mainly due to GCSE exams (Our kids, not the adults) but we're hoping it will be back in 2016, bigger, better and Brestier than ever. If you're interested in riding it, use the contact page to drop us a line. Thanks

With no B2A ride to keep them out of trouble, two of our finest riders George (Disco) Brisco and Lui Zurawski decided to take on the epic Paris-Brest-Paris. This blue riband of randoneur rides entails covering 1200km in less than 90 hours. Needless to say it doesn't leave much time for sleeping.

The guys completed it with an hour to go. Chapeau!
