On Monday 4th June, six intrepid cyclists will set off from Blackpool Tower and head down the Golden Mile with Paris and the Eiffel Tower in their sights.
The route will take in Whitchurch, Warwick, Bray and Newhaven before taking the ferry at 11pm. We arrive in Dieppe at 4am and head off for the last 108 miles to paris on Friday 8th June. 500 miles cycled in five days!
The cycling elite taking on this challenge are:
- Eddie Whittle
- John McDonough
- Jonathan Smith
- Garrath King
- Gareth Beard
And not forgetting possibly the most important person on this trip, our life support in the van, Tamsyn Harvey!
So why would you not just take the Chunnel?!?!?!
The aim of all this is to raise much needed funds for Derian House Childrens Hospice. Read all about the amazing work of Derian House Childrens Hospice.

The Tower 2 Tower challenge has been generously sponsored by Data Defined. We would like to offer our thanks for the support from them and our other wonderful supporters including Maxxraxx who have kindly donated a 5 bike car rack so we can get a lift home!!!!
The challenge is part of the Year of Madness, where Eddie and John aim to complete 12 challenges in 12 months. They are being joined on various challenges with friends who will share the pain and suffering
But the main aim of all this is to raise as much money and awareness for 5 wonderful charities, close to our hearts.
You can sponsor us for the Derian House here or see www.madness4charity.co.uk to sponsor us for Macmillan Cancer Support, BHF and Cardiac Risk in the Young and Action Medical Research.
Please tick the Gift Aid box if you are a UK tax payer as the UK Government will contribute an additional 25% on the money that we have raised.
Thanks again.
