London to Paris Cycle
Join the five-day ride of a lifetime
Whether you want to ride solo or in a group, join Team Place2Be on this iconic ride and know that you're helping to improve children's mental health with every pedal.
The route leaves London and weaves its way out to the coast along country roads, through stunning market towns and the rolling hills of Kent and Surrey. In northern France, you will cycle through peaceful hamlets and wooded valleys before finishing at the Eiffel Tower.
