In celebration of a big birthday and raising money for Tom’s Trust, Jeremy and Michele joined 14 other members of the Auckland Road Cycling Club in an expedition across the Pyrenees. Over 5 days cycling from the border with Andorra to a well earned dinner in San Sebastian, they cycled more than 600 kilometres, almost 13,000 metres of climbing, conquering 7 Hors de category or Category 1 climbs.

Jeremy designed the special kit for the trip adding to his portfolio of cycling designs and it was voted in the top kits of the year by Milltag, just behind Laura Trott’s World Champion’s jersey.
