Alpha Crew’s annual charity bike ride is back, and this year, we’re setting our sights on something truly monumental. From the 2nd to 5th May 2025, our team will take on the challenge of cycling 400 miles from London to Cologne in just four days. This is the toughest ride we’ve ever attempted, and we’re doing it for a cause that means so much to us.
Why We Ride
Four years ago, we lost a cherished member of our crew, Hassan Elabbady. To us, Hassan wasn’t just a colleague – he was family. His passing was a devastating blow to all of us, and since then, we’ve been determined to honour his memory. Since then, we’ve committed to supporting The British Heart Foundation (BHF), the UK’s biggest independent funder of heart and circulatory research, helping to find cures and treatments that give people more time with their loved ones. Each ride is a tribute to Hassan, and we’re committed to raising as much as we can to support the foundation’s critical work.
The Challenge: London to Cologne
This year, we’re pushing ourselves further than ever before. After completing the London to Paris, London to Amsterdam, and London to Brussels rides in the last three years, we’re now gearing up for our toughest challenge yet: cycling from London to Cologne. Over the course of four days, we’ll cycle 100 miles per day, covering a total of 400 miles. That’s right – 400 miles, crossing borders and battling through whatever weather May throws at us. It’s going to be a brutal test of endurance, but we’re ready for it. Every mile will bring us closer to raising funds that could help save lives, and that’s what keeps us going.
The Impact So Far
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, we’ve raised a total of £7,112 over our past rides for the BHF. From London to Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussels, we’ve been able to contribute to life-saving research and support the foundation’s vital work. This year, we’re aiming to break our previous fundraising records, and with your help, we believe we can do it.
