London to Paris - Special Tour Edition

17 July 2013

Join us on this legendary cycling tour with a twist! Setting out from London we will bike through the British countryside before crossing the sea from Dover to Calais. In France we will pass through historic towns, winding countryside roads and rolling green hills, gearing up for our final sprint down Champs-Elysees on Saturday. Riding high on our massive achievement, we can see the stars of the 100th Tour de France follow in our tyre tracks as they cycle across the finish line on Sunday.


Only 53 days to go!

Gordon and Ian - road to Paris

Fundraisers: 
Gordon McInnes, Ian Thomson

My page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/GNT

Hi, thanks for visiting our page.

Initially this was a challenge to mark Gordon turning 40 (hard to believe I know) and Ian was coming along to keep the spirits up by laughing at him the whole way - and reminding him often that he should have bought a carbon bike (and probably better padded shorts)!

We are now using it as an opportunity to raise funds for a fantastic cause in the Red Cross. Where for example with £2500 they can fund ten hand pumps to provide water for a community in Zambia (see what else you can support in the link below).

Our target is to raise a massive £3500 so please donate what you can and help make a real difference to people.
