Road to Palestine
We're acutely aware of the challenges faced by Palestinians under occupation. At Gapped, we refuse to stand idly by. Our vision? To embark on a journey to Palestine, raising funds for this critical cause. Whether it takes a decade, fifteen, or twenty years, our commitment remains unwavering until justice prevails.
This year we have partnered with Global Helping Hands in order to support orphans in Gaza. They offer a 100% donation policy.

Itinerary
Day 1 - Eurostar - Brussels - Liege
Please note - Bike drop off will happen a few days before the ride, at a yet to be announced location in East London.
This will greet you as you arrive in Brussels.
We will catch an early Eurostar train from London to Brussels, where we will ride approximately 65 miles to Liege. The route is fairly hilly!
Day 2 - Liege - Luxembourg City
Probably the toughest part of our journey to date. Riders will ride approximately 90-100 miles, taking in 7-8,000 ft of climbing. Perhaps, the most scenic of routes to date too! We love the alpine climbs in northern Luxembourg!
Day 3 - Luxembourg City - Strasbourg
The longest day of our journey follows the hilliest. This route will be approximately 125 miles, with a fair few hills thrown in for good measure. Please note, we are only allowing applications from experienced and regularly training riders for this reason.
Day 4 - Home
There is one flight out of Strasbourg (currently empty at the time of writing) to London at 4pm. It allows riders a fair few hours to explore and recover before the journey home.
