Monaco friends to ride 2,900 km to Istanbul

Monaco friends to ride 2,900 km to Istanbul - Three friends working in Monaco, Harley Glegg, Bastien Duvalet, and Raphaël Boissy, are setting off on a 2,900 km cycling adventure to Istanbul. Passionate about long-distance challenges, they’ll cross around 10 countries in 14 days.  The trio, experienced in ultra cycling races like Biking Man, decided to leave behind organized events in favour of full autonomy. Their journey will take them through wild landscapes, far from cities. “Cycling lets us connect with nature and people,” they explain. Whether it's sleeping in bus shelters or navigating mountains, they’re ready to adapt. Departure is set for this Friday at 9:30 a.m. from Monaco’s State Ministry. Locals are invited to cheer them on or cycle with them to Larvotto.
