Ride to Paris for Fight for Sight

Blindness research charity Fight for Sight is calling on cyclists to ride from London to Paris on September 12-16 to raise money for the charity.

On day one cyclists will travel from London through Kent and the North Downs to Dover where they will take the ferry to Calais.

On day two they will cycle on quiet winding roads through beautiful old market towns to Abbeville and day three follows the River Somme and mainly tree-lined roads to Beauvais. Day four will take the cyclists through rural countryside and villages to the outskirts and finishes under the Eiffel Tower.

Celebrations will follow with a well-earned dinner and some sight-seeing before taking the Eurostar back to London the following day. Places cost £99 with a sponsorship target of at least £1,100.
