Story
Welcome to our page!
Myself, my dad and my father in law will be doing the Paris to Hayling ride this year. We will setting off in Paris on the 15th July cycling between 70-90 miles a day to arrive in Hayling for the 18th July. If you would like to support us we would be extremely grateful.
How it all began!
In 1986, 30 years ago, Peter McQuade eased onto the saddle of his bicycle and set off from the
middle of Paris on a solo bike ride to his home on Hayling Island in Hampshire. He had no
experience, apart from a few miles in practice. He had no special clothing or saddles nor a
particularly fit-for-purpose bike. No one really did what he was about to do in those days.
What he had was a personal drive to raise money for a cot death charity. Peter had friends who
had lost one of their twin baby daughters to the tragic syndrome and he wanted to do something
meaningful in support. Today, Peter still cycles each year to raise money but this year as he
rides onto Hayling Island on the 18th July he will have more than 250 other people cycling with
him. At that moment this famous event, known as the “Paris to Hayling Ride” will pass many
significant milestones.
We have chosen for all donations to go to the Macmillan Cancer Support Charity. This charity really does make a difference and help a lot of families.
