London to Paris cycle
11th - 15th June 08

Calling all cyclists with a sweet tooth! Deafblind Scotland is looking for cyclists to peddle all the way to the patisserie to help deafblind people.

This challenge links two great European cities, London and Paris, covering around 200 miles, crossing the Channel by ferry. Cycling through historic English villages and into the stunning countryside of rural France you'll follow the River Seine and pass areas associated with World War I until you reach Paris, undoubtedly one of the most magical places on earth, crossing the finish line under the Eiffel Tower before celebrating your achievement in style! The following day, you’re free to leisurely explore the enchanting city before returning to London via Eurostar.

Participants must pay an initial deposit of £99 and then raise a minimum sponsorship of £1100 but don’t stress out about raising the funds; once you get started you’ll realise it’s quite straightforward given you are doing something amazing and we’ll be on hand to give you examples and ideas of how to do it in an enjoyable way.
