Story
Another year, another ride, another route…. The 2009 Alpine Challenge. 500 miles in three days, from Laon in northeastern France to Annecy in the French Alps
On 25th September Chris, Jonathan and Lawrence Carter will be participating in the Alpine Challenge. They will set off south first thing on the Friday cycling past champagne vineyards and rolling countryside into Chablis country and the first night's stop at Auxerre. On Saturday, they will head east passing through the village where the feature film of "Chocolate" was made, then riding on past the source of the Seine north of Dijon across lovely countryside before arriving at Besancon. On Sunday, teams will head into the Jura mountains past ski stations and stunning alpine scenery arriving at Lac Annecy with its historic and picturesque old quarter.
The event is organised by Challenge Adventure Charities and all sponsorship raised will go directly to MacMillan Cancer Support and Cancer Research UK. Riders are “extra” ordinary people rising to a physical challenge.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Challenge Adventure Charities gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for your support.
Best Wishes
