The challenge - what to expect
Cycle through beautiful English countryside and cross the
Channel to continue through picturesque French villages, passing
the famous battlefields of the Somme and Agincourt.
After 4 days in the saddle, the sight of the Eiffel Tower at our
finishing point will evoke a real sense of achievement.
This is designed to be a challenge but with sufficient training,
anyone with a moderate level of fitness will find this trip
achievable and hugely rewarding.
The scenery was incredible, and we met some lovely people along the way. I'd definitely like to do it again!
