London to Paris Cycle
Travel between two iconic capital cities by bike!
Location: Starting from London
Trekking distance: Approx 311 miles
Cost: Various funding options available
The London to Paris Bike Ride is an awesome cycling challenge and by far one of the best fundraising events in Europe, attracting hundreds of riders each year and raising thousands of pounds for charities nationwide. You’ll spend 4 days in the saddle, cycling from capital to capital. Your journey begins in London, with our route taking us through glorious English countryside as we cycle from Kent to Dover, before crossing the Channel and continuing through the rolling green fields of Northern France, where you pass the war memorials and cemeteries of the Somme. A spectacular finish awaits you as you reach the home stretch around the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs Elysées, before reaching the pièce de résistance, the Eiffel Tower, which marks the finish line.
