Then, enjoy the fruits of your pedalling by exploring the incredible architecture of the Royal Temples of Angkor Wat.
Covering 450km across seven days, this challenge is moderate, designed to enjoy the stunning scenery of South East Asia. Expert guides will be with you every pedal of the journey, ensuring your comfort and safety.
I've seen quite a few places over the years, but The Saigon to Angkor Wat bike ride was one of the most spectacular experiences of my life. What a great way to see a country. The entire event was very well organised and allowed us to focus just on getting through the challenge.

It's hard to put into words what this challenge meant to me. I was riding I memory of one of my best friends. It was the most amazing experience of my life. I didn't think my last challenge could be beaten but this was just superb. The countries, cultures, my biking buddies, the bike guides (brilliant bunch of guys) and the riding. Every 100 yards we saw something we'd never seen before or would see again. It was like a constant over stimulation of all your senses with every push of the pedal. Our bike guides were so generous with their humour and knowledge, sharing stories about their country, culture and the history of their country. This really was the most amazing time of my life and I would do it all again tomorrow, in a heartbeat. It helped with my healing from the loss of my friend. So thank you to Charity Challenge, the in country bike guides, the people we met along our ride and to my fellow bike buddies. Can I do it all again please?
