London to Paris Cycle
18-22 June 2008 or 3-7 September 2008
Cycling the 300km from London to Paris is
one of the great cycle experiences in Europe.
Passing through picturesque Kent
countryside, the group will cross the Channel and continue through
small villages and medieval market towns of Northern France,
passing the famous battlefields of the Somme and Agincourt. With
long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill climbs, the sight
of the Eiffel Tower, the finishing point, will evoke a real sense
of achievement.
The last day of the trip allows the group to explore the streets
of Paris and soak up the atmosphere of the city.
