5 day cycling challenge

Peterborough to Paris

Our Peterborough to Paris cycle challenge will be a truly incredible experience for all riders and there will be a great sense of camaraderie and shared focus through the ride…. Just imagine that euphoric ‘I did it’ feeling when you arrive at the Eiffel Tower!

The mileage on days 1-3 is approximately 60 miles per day.  On day 4 we will catch the ferry to Dieppe and have a relatively short ride into Forges-les-Eaux (rather like a ‘rest day’ before the following day’s ride into Paris).  Day 5 presents the biggest challenge of them all, with a 95 mile ride into Paris.

**By entering this challenge you are committing to raise a minimum of £1,500 for the Thomas Cook Children’s Charity**
