We have just completed the London to Amsterdam Challenge with Challenge Central. We could never have achieved our goal if it wasn’t for the AMAZING team, Steve, Dave and the wonderful Kelly! Honestly, their preparation, professionalism and FUN made this trip one of the best I have ever done! Thanks a million!!

Our group had a fantastic experience with the CC team (Steve, Kelly and David). They took care of every detail seamlessly and couldn’t do enough to help us with muddy tyres, loading bikes, repairing punctures etc. so that we could focus on getting the challenge completed and raising funds for our charity. They were the perfect balance of professional and personable, bringing humour, energy, fun and morale. We felt like we were in safe hands at all times and learnt a thing or two about cycling from our super athlete guides! Thank you team CC.

Thank you Steve, Kelly and Dave for the most memorable few days on our London to Amsterdam cycle. I have only been a road cyclist for a few months but I officially have the cycle bug!! Challenge Central considered all elements of each day removing any stress so that we could focus on our ride. We could not have asked for a better team... laughter, tears... still buzzing! Can't wait for our next adventure!!

Just completed Welsh 3 peaks for the St francis hospice. We had the best time, everything ran smoothly and had a great time. The challenge central team were amazing, would definitely sign up for another challenge.

I’ve just got back from our London to Amsterdam cycle challenge. I can’t really put into words how amazing the Challenge Central team have been. From organising everything you can imagine to being the best company on the ride itself, Steve and the team have been superb. A massive thank you also to our tour leaders David and Kelly who were equally as fantastic!

I literally could not fault these event organisers! Challenge Central made my vision of doing something almost impossible, an absolute dream!! We have all had the time of our lives and have felt nothing but support and admiration for the whole Challenge Central team. What a team they are!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this a reality. London to Amsterdam, done! Bring on the challenge, which I know will only be possible with this awesome crew leading us there. Thank you, love you guys!!! Xxx

Brilliant weekend doing the 3 Peak Challenge with Steve and Alan as our guides.
Thanks to the great minibus drivers and the various mountain guides who also helped us on our journey.
Would definitely do another Challenge Central event again!!

What an experience! We were provided with lots of information to enable us to properly prepare for the challenge, both in terms of training, itinerary and kit lists. The transport made the job even easier as it allowed us to be over prepared with food etc but there were also opportunities to stock up in between (in addition to the food provided by CC - most enjoyable bacon butty at the bottom of Scafell, thanks Steve!) if needed.
Steve, Alan and the drivers, Steve and Sean, were excellent, as too were the guides for each of the mountains. I particularly loved the fact that locally based guides were selected to lead us up each mountain. Not only did it support the local community but gave us the benefit of the super knowledge that each was able to share about the environment we were in and surrounding areas.
It was so well put together with the fabulous crew referred to above. I'm genuinely still on a high of what we were able to experience and now questioning whether I need to change my career to get out there and see more of this beautiful world. Even after the hammering that mother nature gave us at Snowdon! Maybe another challenge will have to do until I can work that one out.

Absolutely Brilliant, 5 Stars aren't enough.
This is my 3rd time using CC and each time they exceeded my expectations. I can't thank or praise Alan, Steve, Celina & crew enough. If you ever want to do a challenge, then these guys are the ones to go through. Nothing is too much trouble for them. We've just completed the 3 peak challenge with them and from start to finish they make you feel at ease with their knowledge, openness, friendliness, but above all your safety is paramount to them. They want you to have a great time and enjoy your challenge without the worry. We're already looking at the next one with these guys. We wouldn't use anyone else, knowing these guys have your back is worth everything.

This is the second challenge I have completed with Challenge Central. The first was a cycle from London to cologne which was excellent so when we decided to complete the National Three Peaks it was a no brainer that we would use them.
What a fantastic experience we had! Pre challenge information was great, Alan and Steve lead the challenge which wasn’t easy as we had huge variety in fitness levels but this was managed expertly with no pressure. They created a fun, laid back environment which put everyone at ease and gave amazing encouragement and tips along the way to ensure everyone was able to do their best. Always amble food, water and a Gin and Tonic at the finish went down a treat.
We are already planning the next challenge, and I wouldn’t use anyone else. Thanks again team!

I work for Mental Health UK on the charity partnership with Lloyds Banking Group and I hold the supplier relationship with Challenge Central. They have organised numerous corporate fundraising challenges for us over the past few years. Alan and the team at Challenge Central are by far the best suppliers we've ever worked with. Due to the pandemic we've had to postpone challenges, change locations, cancel activities etc. and Challenge Central are always so accommodating, flexible and understanding. They really do put the customer first. I recently experienced one of their challenges first hand, on a North Coast Scotland cycle challenge - it was excellent. Challenge Central went above and beyond to make it an epic experience for everyone. The support we received on the challenge was great, from moral support, to check points, to accommodation, to bike collection. Considering it was a bespoke challenge which they hadn't done before, it was run really smoothly. I would 100% recommend them to any charity, corporate or individual looking to work with them or take on a challenge.

A brilliant company! The support before the ride answering all emails and messages so quickly was amazing, during the ride they couldn’t do enough for you.
I couldn’t find my passport at one point and was late boarding the ferry Alan and Mark rallied around and helped get me, my bags and bike on board so I didn’t miss the trip. So thankful to then for this!
Going along always checking in, offering hints and tips to improve your cycling. Helping you up climbs, how to ride as a group, all skills I’ll use moving forward.
Don’t hesitate to book with these guys! Exceptional in everyway
Thanks again for all your support.
See you again on the ride to Barcelona!

What an experience, the organisation was fantastic, the second hotel surpassed expectations massively and was exactly what was needed before the ride into the final day, brilliant people and would highly recommend 👏🏼

This company is honestly the best I have encountered for challenges. They are extremely knowledgable and organised. No one was left behind and they support you all the way. There was a group of 6 of us friends who had never done anything like this before and they made sure we all felt like part of the team. They had regular checks on anyone at the back and made sure that no one got lost. Was an amazing experience so a big thank you to the team at Challenge Central

A group of 7 of us booked the London to Amsterdam ride through Challenge Central. We can't thank the team enough for their support and tips to help us complete the ride. The organisation was superb - from the planned stops, to the delicious meals to keeping us hydrated, they were fantastic.
We will be booking London to Paris next year! :-)

London to Amsterdam Cycle July 2022
It has always been an ambition to complete this trip, a chance to test myself physically and be part of a group working towards a common goal. With Challenge Central providing all the planning, support and experience to complete the trip safely, it leaves me to focus on the journey, enjoy the camaraderie and think about what event I should sign up for next.
I can't recommend the team at Challenge Central enough, their experience running events means they can cater for first-timers looking to make a positive change to their lifestyle to seasoned athletes who have probably completed these trips, multiple times. Well done Challenge Central, a first-class experience and an event that I am proud to have completed.

What a fun experience from start to finish. Lovely weather for a bike ride. Challenge Central were amazing, I would highly recommend them to anyone considering pushing themselves. Alone or in a group it doesn’t matter, it will always be an inclusive and fun atmosphere. Well done one and all on the ride and for the excellent support driver.
