Six men will be embarking on a 670-mile cycle trip across Europe next month, with the help of Exeter City FC, in memory of a friend and to raise much-needed funds and awareness for three charities.

Captain Jake Taylor says he is excited about the future at Exeter City having put pen to paper on a new deal at St James Park.
The midfielder, who has been an integral part of the team over the past two-and-a-half seasons, says the club is moving in the right direction and he was keen to tie down his future at St James Park because of that.
“I am very pleased,” he said. “The future at Exeter City is exciting. Since Matty (Taylor) has come in he has showed us it is completely different this year and it is definitely something I want to be involved in going forward.”
Exeter City got their 2018/19 season off to a positive start with a 3-1 win over Carlisle United at St James Park.
In Matt Taylor's first competitive match in charge of the Grecians, they went ahead in the first half when Nicky Law struck, before Jonathan Forte added another with a composed finish.
United pulled a goal back just before half-time, but were unable to find an equaliser as substitute Tristan Abrahams then sealed the points for City with an injury time goal.
Max Smallcombe and Alex Hartridge have joined Conference South side Truro City on six-month loan deals.

Alex, 19, has also made one appearance for City in the Checkatrade.com Trophy, against Chelsea, and is a highly rated defender who has impressed on loan at Treyew Road before.
Both players played against the White Tigers on Thursday in City's 6-0 victory and also featured for...
