EVENT | 17th Sep 2014 |
Cycling from London to Paris is one of the greatest cycling experiences available in Europe. With five long days in the saddle, our supporters will pass through picturesque countryside, small villages and medieval market towns. With the finish line underneath the Eiffel Tower, you'll have a spare day to explore Paris before returning to London by train.
The ride starts on Wednesday the 17th of September. You will arrive in Paris on Saturday the 20th of September in the afternoon, returning a day later on the 21st.
Day 1: London to Dover (75 miles)
An early start from Crystal Palace allows us to avoid the morning traffic. Our route allows us to avoid the main roads and takes us to through the Kent countryside to Dover where we catch the ferry to Calais.
Day 2: Calais to Abbeville (76 miles)
After breakfast we head South through beautiful French countryside towards Abbeville. Our route will take us along small quiet roads through villages and small towns.
Day 3: Abbeville to Beauvais (60 miles)
Our route this morning follows the river Somme out of Abbeville. We continue South through beautiful villages and along quiet French roads to the more forested region around Compiegne.
Day 4: Beauvais to Paris (50 miles)
Our final day's cycling takes us initially through small villages and woodland before we meet the outskirts of Paris. We cycle though the Parisian streets around the Arc de Triumph to our finish beneath the arches of the Eiffel Tower.
