***UPDATE March 2024*** Due to injuries and circumstances out of our control, I shall be taking on this challenge on my own now. This changes nothing though in our goal for fundraising and being able to complete the ride in memory of our own warrior, Connor!!!

***UPDATE 18/07/23***Due to unforeseen circumstances, we as a group have had to delay this ride and move it from September 2023 to June 2024.

It’s official! The hard work starts now. You will all know last year myself and a few others completed the three peak challenge, which was incredibly difficult. I made a promise to myself that each year I will test myself to the limit in order to raise vital funds for children with cancer uk.So this year myself and my band of merry men will be completing the London to Paris bike ride in memory of not only my son and best friend but my absolute hero Connor. Our London to Paris Bike Ride is an awesome cycling challenge and is by far one of the best fundraising events in Europe, attracting hundreds of riders each year and raising thousands for charities nationwide. We’ll spend 4 days in the saddle, cycling 309 miles from capital to capital. Our journey begins in London with the route taking us through glorious English countryside as we cycle from Kent to Dover, before crossing the Channel to Calais. Once across the water, we start cycling ‘French style’, remembering to keep to the right! We 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 us as we 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 we’ll feel crossing the finish line and the euphoric atmosphere as we celebrate our achievements in this magnificent capital, the saddle soreness soon wears off!Please all share far and wide xThe target, is to hopefully beat what we raised for the three peaks!   #theresonlyoneconnorowlett#myhero#londontoparis#childrenwithcanceruk
