Important information about this trip?

This is an Open Challenge. These challenges are organised directly by our tour operator and there will be other people raising money for different charities on the event although we aim to recruit as many people as possible from NDCS. The tour operator will be looking after the administration of the event and NDCS will be supporting you with your fundraising. Your sponsorship money will still be paid directly to NDCS.

Event registration fee: £250
Minimum sponsorship: £2650 (of which £1535 is tour costs) 80% of sponsorship due: 10 weeks before your departure
100% of sponsorship due: 1 month after your arrival home

The tour costs cover flights to/from Mexico, accommodation, transfers, full medical support, experienced guides, support staff, water and all meals except lunch on days 9 and 10.

The tour costs do not include airport taxes and fuel surcharge where applicable, personal travel insurance, visa, lunch on days 9 and 10, optional tours, gratuities and spending money.

You will need a cycle helmet. A full packing list will be sent to you. You will have the use of 21-gear bikes in Mexico.

This ride is aimed at people of average fitness who are prepared to put in plenty of training to enable them to meet the challenge. The tour operator will provide a set of training guidelines to help you on your way.
