What’s on offer?
You’ll spend 4 days in the saddle, cycling 309 miles from capital to capital. Our journey begins in London with the route taking us through glorious English countryside as we cycle from Kent to Dover, before crossing the Channel to Calais. Once across the water, you’ll start cycling ‘French style’, remembering to keep to the right! You’ll cycle along quiet French country lanes, through traditional market towns with views of the rolling green hills of Northern France, passing the war memorials and cemeteries of the Somme.
A spectacular finish awaits as you reach the home stretch around the Arc de Triomphe and along the Champs Élysées, before reaching the pièce de résistance, the Eiffel Tower, which marks your finish line. The days in the saddle may be long but the sense of achievement on crossing the finish line will be fantastic, knowing that you’ve helped to care for those living with life-limiting illness in east Kent!
You’ll join a 200-strong group of riders of all abilities, each taking on this classic route with the same thing in common: a great sense of adventure and the desire to help their favourite charity.
