Welcome to the inaugural Cycle to EXPO REAL 2019.

We are trialling a new ride this year to EXPO REAL - the International Trade Fair for Property & Investment attended by 45,000 people. We’re searching for a minimum of 12 pioneers to blaze a trail from Zurich to Munich. Over three days we’ll cross three countries, cover around 390km and climb 5100m. For those of you keen on your beer, we will also arrive in time for the final afternoon and evening of Oktoberfest - the world’s largest beer festival - leaving you fresh faced if planning on staying for the start of EXPO REAL the following morning - or free to fly home.

This is very much a pioneers ride, so will be intimate in size, lightly supported and a test for how a future, more full-scale event might work. Cycle to EXPO REAL is not only a fantastic networking and fundraising experience but a team effort that encompasses a sense of community and friendship that lasts a lifetime. We very much look forward to sharing this experience with you over the coming months.

As with our other fundraising events we’re running it at cost, but unlike them there is no fundraising in this inaugural year. We will have an event director, sports therapist, mechanic and paramedic, but no motorcycle escort and a lead car only for specific portions. Lunches will be in restaurants and coffee stops in cafés - so hopefully civilised enough for those who like their creature comforts. As with Cycle to MIPIM, we appreciate not all riders will be attending EXPO REAL and so this isn't a barrier to signing up to join in the fun.
