The fundraiser continues regardless of the tour's pause.
Who are we?
We're Jan, Peer, and Johannes — three guys in our early twenties who finished school together (Abitur) in Neustadt am Rübenberge in 2024. Right after graduating, we spent three weeks cycling from Neustadt all the way to Rome.
This year, we set off again. From August 20 on, we cycled through Sweden and almost all of Norway — 1,636.7 km and 14,590 meters of elevation gain — before we had to pause the tour after a crash. No one was hurt, but Jan's bike was damaged badly enough that continuing wasn't possible. We'll pick up the Denmark leg again in 2027.
But this year, the ride is meant to be more than just a trip. We want to use it to raise awareness for the illness ME/CFS.
