The story so far

It all started when Adrian Long of superyacht cleaning company Inter-Nett was diagnosed with Cancer in March 2012. A year later in March 2013, a group of like-minded bike riders came together to form the charity Cogs4Cancer, inspired by Adrian’s story and love of cycling.

Several endurance rides have taken place:

2013 – 800km 8 riders – Antibes to Palma de Mallorca – 5 days – total money raised – € 114 000
