How 25000spins began
25000spins first adventure
25000spins first charity cycle event was in 2009. From London to Paris then onto Athens.
The Journey Begins
25000spins was born from a passion for adventure and giving back. It all started when Craig Shipton and Trent Jaques cycled from Paris to Italy through the Swiss Alps, with Craig continuing solo to Athens. That first trip was filled with unforgettable highs and a few challenges, like a crash in Croatia that led to a hospital visit and an unexpected run-in with the police. These experiences sparked a lifelong commitment to combining epic cycling adventures with meaningful impact.

Acting as an extension of the charity team, we handle supporter enquiries, communicate with riders, and help them become committed fundraisers. From training to fundraising, we ensure participants are ready for an adventure that makes a difference.
