London to Paris Mega Bike Ride

Tick this 315 mile ride from the UK to France off your bucket list! 

Take on the London to Paris ultimate cycle challenge with an experienced team, for a truly inspirational experience. You'll make friends for life, push yourself beyond your limits, and make memories you'll cherish for a lifetime, but best of all, you'll help to change the lives of local children by fundraising for the Children's Bereavement Centre.

Spend 4 days in the saddle, cycling 309 miles from capital to capital. Your will journey begin in London with the route taking you through glorious English countryside. You and the team will cycle from Kent to Dover, before crossing the Channel to Calais. Once across the water, you'll start cycling ‘French style’, remembering to keep to the right! Enjoy cycling 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 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 the finish line.

Registration fee £125 + Minimum sponsorship £1790. To register your interest and for available dates, email Katie (learn more)

Lincoln C2C2C - Thursday 27th June 2024

C2C2C is a charity cycle ride across Lincolnshire. In the first year the ride was from Lincoln Castle to the coast and back to the castle but as numbers grew it became more difficult to ride safely into Lincoln.
 

There are 2 routes - 100 miles with 3,500' of gentle climbing or 200km, which includes The Appendix (the pointless bit in the middle), and has 5,000' of climbing. Most people ride in teams and the size of your team is only limited by how many people you know/will ride with you! However, we do recommend riding in groups of less than 8.
 

Some people ride all of it, some ride in relay. Mountain bikes, the latest carbon fibre aero models, tandems, hire bikes, recumbents or a Brompton- it doesn't matter what you ride, so long as you power it yourself. We have had many riders complete 100 miles for the first time on C2C2C so as long as you train (a bit) before the ride you will get back for a beer and BBQ. The more you train the better you will feel at the end of the ride.

Places are £41.50 registration which will be donated to the charity after the event. If you are interested in taking part in 2024's event please email Katie 

*minimum sponsorship £50. Raise £150 and we will give you a free branded t-shirt to ride in at the event.
