Premier League, Police and plenty of pit-stops as record-breaking adventurers set off on 3,000 Miles of YES tour.

Two record-breaking British adventurers set off on an ambitious challenge yesterday by riding 3,000 miles on an ElliptiGO, a unique bicycle which combines running, cycling and the elliptical trainer.
Dave Cornthwaite, from Clapham, and Squash Falconer, from Derby, will travel through five countries in nine weeks on their 3,000 Miles of YES trek, which is designed to inspire people to say ‘Yes’ more in their lives.
As well as inspiring people to get active, Dave and Squash will be raising money for breast cancer charity CoppaFeel!
The challenge was launched at Everton’s F.C’s Finch Farm training ground after it was revealed the ElliptiGO is a secret weapon for Everton’s squad, who are the only Premier League club to use the bike as part of their training programme.
The UK leg of the trek includes stops in Derby, Leicester and Milton Keynes, before the duo arrive in London’s Hyde Park on May the 5th to help Adrian Leppard, Commissioner of the City of London Police and his cycle safety crew give advice to Londoners to stay safe when cycling in the capital.
Dave and Squash will arrive through Victoria Gate at 3pm and then join the cycle safety crew in the Cockpit, located at the north-west corner of The Serpentine.
A day later they will be joined by a group of fellow ElliptiGO enthusiasts to embark on the famous London to Brighton route.
