We are 20 average gym members who want to make a change to the lives of others. Cycling almost 300 miles from London to Paris will take hours of dedication in training & preparation. However, this sacrifice is a fraction of what others do each and every day when caring for people who are ill. Help us by donating today and together we can make a difference.

FAQ

1. Who is doing the challenge? We are 20 normal gym goers who attend a weekly spin class and want to do something amazing.

2. How far is the ride? Just over 271 miles we shall be cycling 85 miles day 1, 71 miles day 2, 65 miles day 3 and 50 miles Day 4

3. Why £28,800? We want to maximise the amount we give to the two charities. As you can imagine getting 20 people to Paris on bikes will take money in terms of support personnel, medical and mechanical, travel, hotels even shipping the bikes back! Once these costs have been taken out we will be able to help the two causes significantly if we hit this minimum figure of £28,800, but we are aiming for more with your support.

4. Has anyone done it before? Most of the group haven't even got a bike yet! However, 3 people have previously done the challenge. Currently we are busy saving up to buy our bikes in the New Year.

5. What sort of training will you be doing? We shall be training as a group on average 5 days week, the training will be a mixture of cardio, strength and of course road riding.
