Charity champion Callum Mills led the group on the trip from Edinburgh to Cologne where they ended up playing a charity football match with locals.
A group of Scotland fans who have cycled 500 miles to Germany to follow the national team at the Euros say they're not too keen on peddling 500 more. Charity champion Callum Mill, 37, organised the gruelling trip from Edinburgh to Cologne after Scotland powered towards qualification for the competition last year.
"We were feeling really good about Scotland and my mate said, if we qualify we should cycle there. My instant thought was that this was a terrible idea, but for some reason I still agreed to it.Callum works for the Big Hearts Community Trust, which is linked to the club and supports children and families in the capital. He also works for Bikes for Refugees and the group have been raising cash and awareness for the charities on the way.
"I like to cycle but I haven't been cycling a lot lately. I've not been doing enough training to really cope with it well so I've had some injuries and struggled at times. The first day we cycled 100 kilometres which is the longest cycle I've ever done, so that was a massive challenge.
