Your Challenge...

This has to be the best fundraising cycle event in the current market!

Starting from the city of London, our 300 mile, 4 day bike ride takes us through Kent countryside to then cross the Channel to Calais. We then push on cycling along quiet French country lanes, through traditional market towns, with views of the luscious green fields of Northern France.

We’ll pass monuments and war memorials and the days will be long, but upon reaching Paris, we’ll know our efforts will be much rewarded.

The pièce de résistance of this cycle challenge will be a spectacular view of the 324-metre high Eiffel Tower, which marks the finish line in the centre of this majestic city.

We then celebrate our fundraising achievements Parisian style!
