The Journey of Cycling 1000km

Hi my name is Nathan Leroux. I am a 17 year old boy that is pursing his dream to cycle over 1200km this summer in 10 days. I will be leaving from Bergamo, Italy and arrive at my destination at the border of the French and Belgian sea. I will be passing around the Italian lakes, climbing Swiss Alps, and fighting the French countryside wind. As you may expect this is a massive project but I am ready to take part in an adventure that will allow me to grow and explore the world from a different perspective.

Anyone can follow the journey on an Instagram account I have created where I will be documenting the whole adventure. Go take a look at @1000km_cycling on Instagram. For the moment there are training videos with a new video up every week.

Hopefully I can inspire others to go outside, pick up a bike and live life full of curiosity, happiness and pride in what we do. I'm going to try and convince the younger generation to take a break from their phones and look beyond.

The money will be used to fund this project for places to sleep at night, food and equipment for the ride.

Thank you so much for everyone that helped this dream become a reality. Now sit back and enjoy my trip across Europe.
