London - Paris Cycle
Have you ever wanted to do an exhilarating cycle challenge for charity? Here’s your chance...
Wednesday 19 September – Sunday 23 September 2012 – Register here
To take part in this challenge, we ask that you pay a deposit of £99 and raise the minimum sponsorship of at least £1,400.
This five day cycle from London to Paris will take you through beautiful English villages and into stunning rural France until you reach Paris, undoubtedly one of the most magical places on earth.
You will finish your four days’ cycling beside the Eiffel Tower before having a celebratory meal with all your fellow cyclists and enjoying a day to explore Paris before returning to London. The sense of achievement you’ll experience will be one you’ll treasure forever.
No previous experience is required – however, some prior preparation is highly recommended and, with a bit of training, completing this ride should easily be within your capabilities. The spirit for the event is 'taking part', not 'winning' – so you go as fast or as slow as you like!
