In just a few days Backup Chair, Piers Shepperd, will be donning his cycling shorts and joining the group of the intrepid participants for BikeFest 2023.

Organised by #WeMakeEvents, and raising funds for Backup Tech, Music Support and Stagehand, the four-day ride starts in Valencia on 27^th January and covers approximately 100km of the Mediterranean coastline each day, arriving at the Grand Fira in Barcelona on the 29^th in time for the start of ISE. 

“This is going to be an incredible challenge, but I’m training hard, and raising money and awareness for all these important charities will keep me going,” says Piers. “If you can spare a little cash to make a donatation, it will be very well used to help those in our industry family.”
