About this project
Charles Chantrenne took part in Sun Trip Alpes 2022, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar bike.
Charles Chantrenne had dreamed of The Sun Trip since discovering it in 2018 – for its human spirit, the sporting challenge, the adventure and the change of pace. The ride was his 60th birthday present. “A sportsman by nature, not a cyclist, but persevering”, he couldn’t wait for the Alpine landscapes.
