Pedal to Paris 2012
Applications for Pedal to Paris 2012 are
now open!
Welcome to Pedal to Paris 2012 - your chance to join the finest
long-distance cycling event in the UK charity calendar (so we have
been told!).
The four-day 460 kilometre adventure from Greenwich to
Paris, through some of hte best cycling landscape of England and
northern France has become a firm favourite in the Legion's
calendar, with every aspect of the ride planned with
precision - from accommodation and transport to
the all-important mechanics, outriders and sports physios. We
plan so you can ride hassle-free. Just one of the reasons so many
cyclists come back to us again and again.
Yes, the cycling is great, but there's more - the atmosphere is
superb - very quickly strangers become friends, supporters and
cycling companions and many regulars rate the 'shared experience'
as much as the exercise.
The warm welcome the riders receive from villages and towns
along the route is always a highlight - the result of a strong bond
of history between the Legion, its cyclists and the people of
northern France.
And the grand finale is an escorted ride up the Champs
Elysée to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, one of the few
events beside the Tour De France which is granted the
privilege.
