Event: London 2 Paris Bike Ride
Location: England and France
Date: 10-14 September 2008 (5 days, 4 nights)
Registration Fee: £99
Minimum Sponsorship: £1,100

Join us for one of the great cycle experiences in Europe which takes you from the streets of London to the centre of metropolitan Paris.

Passing through the picturesque Kent countryside, you cross the Channel and continue through the small villages and medieval market towns of Northern France, passing the famous battlefields of the Somme and Agincourt. With long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill-climbs, the sight of the Eiffel Tower, the finishing point, will evoke a real sense of achievement.

Your last day in Paris allows you to explore the streets of Paris and soak up the romantic atmosphere of this majestic city!

The great thing about this bike ride is that you don't have to be an expert cyclist and you don't even need to have your own bike!

Is this trip for me?
