Team T Rowe are gearing up to peddle the channel, covering 460km by bicycle from London to Paris in support of The Royal British Legion.
As part of a group of hundreds of cyclists on the ‘Pedal to Paris’ bike ride, the team will begin their journey in London on Thursday 1st September and peddle through the Arc de Triomphe on Sunday 5th September .
This is the Legion’s 21st annual Pedal to Paris event and is the only charity ride to be escorted into the French capital by police outriders. The ride culminates in a moving memorial service at the Arc de Triomphe which is shut especially for the Legion’s cyclists. The only other cycling event that receives this honor is the Tour de France.
The British Legion was formed on 15 May 1921, from four Organizations of ex-Servicemen, established after the First World War. They help members of the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force, Reservists, veterans and their families, campaigning to improve their lives, organize the Poppy Appeal and remember the fallen.
Please join in supporting our wonderful associates through sponsoring or donating to this worthwhile cause!
