The London to Paris charity bike ride is the perfect event for families, aspiring cyclists or corporate teams. Open to all cyclists from the age of 18 upwards, the 300 mile course takes cyclists through some of the most beautiful countryside in the South of England and Northern France.
Set up by a team of cycling enthusiasts, all of whom have lost a family member or a friend to cancer, Bike 4 Cancer provides days out and short-breaks for British families affected by cancer. We also make grants to UK based care institutions and support research into the positive effects of exercise (e.g. cycling) and how it can help with cancer prevention and recovery.
We have several rides for 2015:
Day 1: London to Dover (75 miles)
An early start from Crystal Palace allows us to avoid the morning traffic. We cycle 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. Our route takes us along small quiet roads through villages and small towns.
Day 3: Abbeville to Beauvais (60 miles)
Following the River Somme out of Abbeville, we continue South through beautiful villages and forested areas along quiet French roads.
Day 4: Beauvais to Paris (50 miles)
Our final day of cycling takes us through small villages and woodland before we meet the outskirts of Paris. We cycle around the Arc de Triumph to our finish line beneath the Eiffel Tower.
Day 5: Paris to London (By train)
Spend the day exploring the wonderful city of Paris before catching the Eurostar back to London.

The £725 balance can either be self-funded or it can come out of your sponsorship fund, in which case a minimum sponsorship fund of £1,450 applies before any Gift Aid is added.
Because rider numbers are strictly limited on each ride, places sell out very quickly. To reserve your place, click on the relevent link below.
