Who are Team Chronomaster...


Since 2015 Team Chronomaster have organised four charity challenges, three to the French Alps and one to the Italian Dolomites, with routes you simply wouldn’t find on any tour operators trips and each one a huge success for both the challenge riders and the charities that benefitted from the enormous fundraising efforts.



The statistics are staggering for each trip and these are probably the toughest week-long challenges you can find anywhere!

  • Alps 2015 – 563 miles, 88,208ft
  • Alps 2017 (two trips) – 649 miles, 74,469ft
  • Dolomites 2017 – 640 miles, 100,474ft

Mark Pilkington’s feedback from the Alps 2017 trip:


"I found that the trip was extremely well organised, offering much more than other comparable trips and for less money. The initial contact from mentors was excellent, the offers of support and training were there and i found that whenever I asked Tony Lowe or the others for advice or support i would get an informative response as soon as he was able. The training plans and mentored training rides in the 18 months prior were second to none, other “guided” trips offer next to nothing in the way of preparation. The Team Chrono guys went out of their way to encourage and coach the 30 plus participants, giving up their own time free of charge; as can easily be seen in the many thousands of WhatsApp messages over the months. Overall the buildup and support for training was second to none. To pay for that type of support would cost an individual upward of £50 per hour. I can’t say any more than well done to all concerned."
