In the European summer of 2011 Kitchen Mania supported our very own Chris Arnold to ride over 4700km around Europe to raise money for an incredible charity called Camp Quality.

Camp Quality NZ is an organisation that brings fun, hope and happiness into the lives of children living with cancer - inspiring them to get on with being kids again! Chris raised $10,000 during his 73 day adventure! He rode through France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Austria and Belgium.

Here are a few snaps and clips from his amazing adventure:

The view from the top was apparently cloudy... he had to race back to the bottom to beat the storm...
