London to Paris Bike Ride

Cycle capital to capital

Bike Capital to Capital with our London to Paris challenge for a truly inspirational experience; you’ll make friends for life, push yourself beyond your limits but most of all make memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

A truly memorable challenge will take you through the beautiful Kent countryside to Dover, before crossing the Channel to Calais. Ride along quiet French country lanes, through traditional market towns with views of the rolling, green fields of Northern France, and pass the war memorials and cemeteries of the Somme. The pièce de résistance of this incredible challenge will be the final cycle to the Arc de Triomphe and on to the Champs-Élysées.
