    I work for EF (not in the cycling team part, but the education bit). One of the people that works in the cycling team shared this earlier today – Lachlan is an inspiration!

    Hello everyone. Some of you may have seen this morning, but Lachlan is at it again. He called us up a week ago, and said he wanted to do something to raise money for Ukrainian refugees, and to mobilize the cycling community. He came up with the idea to ride from Munich to the Ukraine border in one push, about 1000 KM. We’ve started a fundraiser, and set up a page to track his progress. So far we’re halfway to the goal and he hasn’t even started riding.

    Nice write-up here:

    and here’s where you can follow along (and donate):
