Nick Bragg of Frogmary Green Farm has officially completed his 3,000-mile charity bike-ride challenge.

Nick has cycled 3,000 miles across Canada in just 30 days to raise awareness and funds for the welfare charity, The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (R.A.B.I).

He has been helped in his quest by sponsors Fendt UK & Ireland and south-west England-based agricultural dealership Compass Tractors.

Nick and his trusty bicycle made it across 3 time zones and 4 provinces, through the mountainous terrain of the Rockies, and finally finished at the Inukshuk monument on the Vancouver waterfront.

Nick was accompanied by his wife Claire, plus siblings Ashley and Adele Martin of Adele Martin PT. With a background in cycling, AMPT provided Nick with the best challenge specific training and advice needed to complete his cycle across Canada safely. Ashley joined Nick at the start of the challenge for 3 weeks until Adele tagged in to tackle the Rockies.

Despite getting slightly lost, Nick and Ashley set off from Montreal Olympic stadium on the 21st of June. They faced strong headwinds for most of the journey and temperatures soared to 30 degrees. Claire followed close behind in their motorhome, with food, clean clothes and plenty of water.

The last 1000 miles was by no means the easiest, said Nick, as the mountainous Rockies loomed before them. On their steepest day, they faced a 3,982ft climb to the Bombi summit and then a 5,036ft climb to Paylson summit, meaning they had climbed a total of 9,018ft. Despite being the hardest section of their challenge, the splendour of the Rockies kept them moving and they were always looking forward to the next breath-taking view.

On day 30, Nick and Adele triumphantly arrived at the Inukshuk monument in English bay on the Vancouver Waterfront.

Nick says the challenge has flown by unbelievably quickly and he feels pleasantly surprised at what he has achieved, plus immensely grateful for all the support from friends and family. He thanked Fendt UK & Ireland, and Compass Tractors, as well as DraperVENT as their main sponsors, saying their support had been invaluable, not just to the Cycling Challenge but as partners to his farm.
