Join #TeamSands for the London to Paris Bike Ride!
Spend 4 days in the saddle, cycling 309 miles from capital to capital. The journey begins in London with the route taking you through the glorious English countryside as you cycle from Kent to Dover, before crossing the Channel to Calais. Cycle along quiet French country lanes, through traditional market towns with views of the rolling green hills of Northern France, passing 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 along the Champs Elysées, before reaching the piece de resistance, the Eiffel Tower, which marks our finish line. The days in the saddle may be long but the sense of achievement you will feel crossing the finish line and the euphoric atmosphere. Take on this incredible challenge in memory of loved ones, to continue to support bereaved parents and save babies lives!
