There are 20 largely maniacs cycling to Paris for a laugh and to raise something for charity at the same time. This time the team choose the Calvert Trust to benefit.

We will leave from Big Ben, London on Thursday 20 July 2017 and ride to Portsmouth (175km), where we have dinner before catching the 10.30pm over-night ferry to Caen. The ferry arrives at 7.30am on Friday 21st July 2017 and we ride to Rouen (150km). On Saturday 22 July 2017 we then ride into Paris and finish at the Eiffel Tower (150 km).

This isn't my story, but it is from someone who as benefited from this worthwhile cause. so please dig deep, send us a tenner at least...

Our 9 year old son is severely disabled, immobile, visually impaired, and tube fed. We naturally assumed that he would spend the entire week on the sidelines in his wheelchair whilst the rest of us had fun. WRONG!We have been brought close to tears many times as we watched our instructor Dylan carefully and respectfully include our little boy in all activities. Never in our wildest dreams did we think that our boy would be taking part in climbing, canoeing, sailing, zip wire and even archery to name just a few.
