Bienvenue to the GREAT British Embassy Bike Ride fundraising page!!
Over 4 and half days a group of 15-20 France Network staff will cycle from the British Embassy Paris to the Foreign Commonwealth Office in London.
Our group will consist of a mix of staff from across the France network (Paris, Marseille and Bordeaux). We think this is a great opportunity to raise some cash for charity, cycle across some of the beautiful country-side of France and Britain and get fit in the process!
Our route will depart from the British Embassy Paris and we will cycle north-west through Normandy to Dieppe. We will then cross the Channel on the Dieppe - Newhaven ferry and continue on national cycle paths to London. The total distance of our bike ride will be 320km.
Along with wanting to do this bike ride to raise money for the NSPCC, we are also supporting the French Association l'Enfant Bleu. A charity which provides assistance and support in emergency and long-term victims of child abuse (physical, sexual or psychological) and adults abused as children. Please help us support this charity by donating using the link below:

So, we've begun our training and are determined to be physically and mentally fit for our mission beginning on 17th May 2013 and which will result in us cycling triumphantly, but maybe a little worse for wear, into the centre of London 4 days later!
You'll be able to track our progress over the 4 days on the British Embassy Paris Facebook page and on Twitter:
You can see our fundraising target on the right. Any donation to show your support would be most appreciated and will help us to pedal through to smash our goal!
If you would like to make a donation to the team as a whole rather than a individual member please go to the '1 Team page' shown below in the team member's list.
Allez The Great British Embassy Bike Ride Team!!
