The likelihood of delays to the roadmap and the close proximity of the original dates with the proposed introduction of Step 3 mean that even the slightest change could result in a last minute postponement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-104209 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All our staff and board members are BTUKFMS alumni and know first hand how much preparation is required as a rider.

Our feedback from alumni has shown how important the team\u2019s camaraderie is and how the highlights of the trip are often time spent as a team or with the MS Society. With the continued vaccine roll out, we believe that August and September will provide a better chance to safely meet each other as well as the local MS groups on route that your hard earned fundraising will support!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-175588 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We want you to enjoy the event without fear for your health and that of your family when you return home.
