Challenge Events :: London to Paris bike ride 2008

 London to Paris bike ride    18 - 21 July 2008

This long-weekend challenge links two great European cities, London and Paris (Eiffel Tower) covering around 300km in just three days.

We set off through the streets of south London and cycle through undulating countryside towards the south coast, heading towards the port of Newhaven where we board the ferry to Dieppe, arriving that same evening.
 
The next day we cycle from Dieppe through sleepy Normandy villages to Gournay en Bray with some challenging hills to conquer along the way.

As we approach Paris on day three our surroundings become more urban.  We reach the city centre via its most famous park, the Bois de Boulogne.  From there it’s just a couple of kilometres along wide Parisian boulevards to the city’s most famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower, our finish line!

Day four is free for you to explore the sights of Paris or just unwind, before boarding the Eurostar for a relaxing journey back to London.
