Are you ready for the ride of your life?
Take on this iconic journey and ride all the way from London to the home of the Tour de France.
It’s time to saddle up for Pilgrims in the pinnacle of pedaling prestige. The London to Paris Bike Ride is arguably the most iconic challenge available for any keen cyclist. From your London start line, this four day challenge takes you through 295 miles of beautiful English and French countryside, passing the war memorials and cemeteries of the Somme, before finishing in the heart of Paris in good time to enjoy the final day of the Tour de France.
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.
This very unique edition has been specially designed to allow riders to revel in the triumph of making it to Paris themselves whilst watching the professionals battle it out in the finale of the greatest race in the world – le Tour de France!
