Cyclists complete Glasgow to Athens challenge and raise close to £100,000

A group of cyclists have completed their Glasgow to Athens challenge, raising almost £100,000, surviving a vomiting bug and getting to pet a baby rescue piglet along the way.

Thighs of Steel – a community of cyclists – took on a nine-week relay ride from Glasgow to Athens, which began on July 16 and ended on September 17, to raise funds for migrant charity MASS Action, with around 100 different cyclists taking part in the cycle at various points.
