Has anyone seen this event? It's a charity bike ride that's going to take place next July and what's great about this one is that you get to see the Tour de France finish!!! Check it out! http://www.action.org.uk/get_involved/london_paris.php

My Profile 		I'm not sure I have enough friends to raise £1100 lol. but yeah that would be pretty amazing to do something like that.

These sorts of things are never things you would do on your own so I would jump at the chance.

Shame its so far away mind :(

Good luck if you do decide to battle it.

My Profile 		I want to do it now too... Sigh. Maybe I'll just follow them, and sleep in a tent.

I have organised the T2T Challenge 2008 to cycle from Blackpool Tower to the Eiffel Tower, leaving Blackpool on 19th July and arriving in Paris on 26th July. We will take in the last day of the Tour de France on the Sunday before returning to the UK on the Monday There are only myself, my brother-in-law and his son riding. It was easier to manage with just the 3 off us (I have never done anything like this before). Perhaps next time we may expand the numbers. You can find details of the ride at www.justgiving.com/t2tbobthackeray It has been exciting and fulfilling bringing the route and accommodation all together. Now I can't wait til July

Hi I want to do this cycle route with my son next autumn Oct 2010. It seam to me to be more evocative than just lands end to jog, and it’s shorter for my 11 year old. Does any one have any info on the route the 2008 event used and any advise and is there anyone out there who would like to make it a bigger event.
Thoughts?

Hi!
Name's Pip.
Am considering taking part in the LTP off road this July 2011, is there anyone out there who did it last year who would be willing to talk to me about it?! Am not a professional off roader but love it and prepared to put in serious training for this event, just worried that its not really for a novice like me!!
Help!
Cheers Pip
