Not long after Yann recovered from testicular cancer, the BikeForBalls concept was created; to pass on Yann’s experience and ensure the lessons he learnt along the way are shared through what we do best, the powerful medium of cycling.

Our first fundraiser and initial step into the endurance cycling world. Just a team of 3 we were relative cycling novices at the time, but wow did we enjoy pushing ourselves. The support we gained throughout the event, lit the fire for BikeForBalls to take us where we are today. 

Key Stats:

• 3 guys / 5 balls
• 560km
• 2,320m of climbing
• €3,700 funds raised

Having whet our appetite in 2018, we wanted to push our limits even further. This time almost doubling the distance over the course of 7 days. What’s more, the B4B peloton grew to a team of 7 with a combo of Dutch, Swedish & British riders joining the team. 

Key Stats:

• 6 guys / 11 balls
• 1,026km
• 2,810m of climbing
• €7,000 funds raised

Now with a few years of endurance cycling experience under our belts, we really wanted to test ourselves in the name of balls & boobs.

Our 2020 adventure took us through the alps for some proper climbing (much to the despair of our Dutch contingent). By the finish, there were a few broken bodies amongst the bunch but having achieved the €10k milestone for the first time for a single event, this was absolutely epic. 

Key Stats:

• 7 guys / 13 balls
• 1,287km
• 12,590m of climbing
• €10,000 funds raised

We went international! Our first event outside of mainland Europe, taking on the infamous UK Coast to Coast ride. 

What made this special was being able to welcome our first female riders to truly show our commitment to raising awareness of both breast and testicular cancer, along with 5 new riders in total. 

The Coast to Coast challenge marked a series of first times with this being our first single day event. We hope that this is our first of many new groups to start their own B4B supported events.

Key Stats:

• 10 balls / 4 boobs
• 245km / 1 day
• 3,900m of climbing
• €4,100 funds raised

For our latest event, we will collectively tackle the world famous Mont Ventoux, located in the Provence region of France.

Over the course of 24 hours, we will attempt to ascend the mountain as many times as physically possible. 

This certainly presents a new challenge, given the majority of participants this time around are based below sea level back in the Netherlands!
