Just a rough outline into the cost of this event. I must highlight that all sponsor money was given to Cancer Research UK, all costs below was from my own funds or help from support team. I did however have help from Phil Corley cycles for bike equipment and a few event clothes.

The accommodations cost about £1,395.00 per 2 persons for 15 nights, This could have been done cheaper by camping out, which isn't for me or my support team.

The other high cost is food & drink which was about £15.00 per day for me during the ride. The evening meal per 2 persons for 15 nights come to around £ 1,200.00. Support team had sandwiches during the day and we all had a hot meal in evening, this could be cut down but not by much.

Another high cost was the bike, cycle shoes, cycle clothes, this price can vary dependant on your requirements. Most new bike do not include a saddle or peddles, which I also had to purchase.

The training coach, clothes, equipment and event clothes, equipment all cost in total about £2,000.00. The training coach cost could be dropped but due to little time I had to train I needed guidance.

The cost of a hire van and petrol this came to about £ 900.00. This can be dropped a bit if you have a friend with a van or you can get one supplied for the event, which I couldn't.

The last was the setup and design of the web site which included connection, web space, e:mail addresses and book to learn web-design, this was about £150.00

 

 

I would have never guest how much this would have cost, I think most people manage to get the support van for free, some get a bike and others get clothes or equipment.
