LONDON TO PARIS 24
14 - 16 JUL 2012
The countdown begins; adrenaline is pumping. 300 riders leave London; 90-miles to Dover. Reaching France, darkness falls. Cyclists tuck in, heads down, bike lights illuminating the tarmac ahead. Deserted French roads; an eerie silence. The peloton speeds on fuelled by determination and stamina. Dawn breaks; the French Capital nears. The unspoken presence of a clock ticking down...280 miles of tarmac link London with Paris - you've got just 24 hours.
You can join London to Paris 24 in 2-man teams, or as an individual; ride classic relay format with your cycling partner or attempt the full distance solo.

"This was, quite literally, one of the best things I've ever done - I learned so much about the limits I can push myself to, finding depths of stamina and endurance I'd never have dreamed I'd have."
