Azlan Cuttilan's HMT 2026: If You Want Bloodstock, You Got It!

After joining the Heavy Metal Truants to cycle to Download festival for the last three years, I have once again signed up for the challenge but this year we are taking the ride to Bloodstock Open Air Festival who shall be celebrating their 25th anniversary.

The ride is a gruelling 175 miles split across three days from London to Catton Park in Derbyshire. No matter how tough the ride gets, we are driven on by the knowledge that our suffering is but a drop in the ocean compared to that endured by the young people we are raising money to support via four incredible charities - Save the Children, NSPCC Childline, Nordoff & Robbins, and Teenage Cancer Trust. Each of these charities makes real difference to literally save lives and every penny raised counts.

Alongside the ride to Bloodstock, I shall also be taking part in the virtual challenge. This year I will attempt the virtual challenge from the 1st-4th August before joining the other Truants for the ride to Bloodstock on the 5th. Keep an eye on the updates on this page to see how I progress towards the target distances.
