Over 4 and half days a group of 15-20 France Network staff will cycle from the British Embassy Paris to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London. 

 

We think this is a great opportunity to raise some cash for charity, cycle across some of the beautiful countryside of France and Britain and get fit in the process! 

 

Our route will depart from the British Embassy Paris and we will cycle north-west through Normandy to Dieppe. We will then cross the Channel on the Dieppe - Newhaven ferry and continue on national cycle paths to London. The total distance of our bike ride will be 320km.

 

Along with wanting to do this bike ride to raise money for the NSPCC, we are also supporting the French Association l'Enfant Bleu. A charity which provides assistance and support in emergency and long-term victims of child abuse (physical, sexual or psychological) and adults abused as children. Please help us support this charity by donating using the link below:

So, we've begun our training and are determined to be physically and mentally fit for our mission beginning on 17th May 2013 and which will result in us cycling triumphantly, but maybe a little worse for wear, into the centre of London 4 days later!

 

You'll be able to track our progress over the 4 days on the British Embassy Paris Facebook page and on Twitter:
