Four incredible options in aid of the fantastic Action Medical Research that offers something for everyone when it comes to tackling the famous London to Paris ride. The ‘Cool’ option spreads the ride London-Calais-Abbeville-Beauvais-Paris and is aimed at those new to such cycle challenges with four days of cycling (80miles, 71miles, 62miles and 48miles), whilst the ‘Classic’ (London-Calais-Arras-Compiègne-Paris) ups the daily mileage to 85, 75, 75 and 61miles and the ‘Champion’ (Chessington-St Malo-Mayenne-Chartres-Paris) takes things further with 76, 81, 114 and 52mile stages. If none of that sounds tough enough (!) there is also a 24hour option to tackle a massive 240miles of road.
Registration for the multiday options is £70, with a commitment to raising £1,500 for Action Medical Research – supporting sick and disabled children – which includes a massive amount of support (plus food and accommodation), whilst the 24hour challenge costs the same for registration but with a lower, £1,200, fundraising commitment. Whichever one you decide to test your legs on there is an opportunity to see the closing stage of the 2014 Tour de France on the famous Champs-Élysées…
Note also that Action Medical Research is running another London to Paris event September 10-14 – although this one naturally doesn’t include seeing the TdF…
