The Team

The team includes three cyclists and two supporters: (L-R) Ian Sutton (supporting), Keith Broadhurst, Philippe Smart, Daniel Smart and Alastair Smart (supporting).

In 1992 Phil organised his first long-distance charity ride, cycling 900 miles from the UK down to Spain and raising approximately £3,000 for the charities Meningitis Trust and CLIC.

Then in 2004, Ian supported Phil and Keith on an 850 mile ride from the north of Spain back to the UK, raising £7,000 for charity, split between Meningitis Trust and Asthma UK. 

For this challenge, Phil's sons Alastair and Daniel will also be part of the team; Alastair driving the support vehicle and Daniel joining the seasoned cyclists.
