Supporting children in need with “Pogi

Are you ready to join ‘Pogi’ and take the #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge? —Two-times Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar joins the ride on day 5— September 4th – 8th, 2023

This incredible five-day ride between Zurich and Nice – 774.4 km with 13,746 meters of elevation gain – will take you over some of the most beautiful mountain passes in Switzerland and France. The monster climbs include Col de la Bonette (2715 m), Furkapass (2436 m), and the Tour de France’s famous Col de la Madeleine (2000 m) and Col d’Izoard (2360 m).

We are excited to partner again with two-time Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar who will join the ride on day 5. Plume has chosen to partner with Street Child and is aiming to raise, through Street Child, substantial funds for a large-scale response to the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on February 6th, 2023.

Challenge yourself. Join the ride. And help make a huge charitable impact.
