Preparations are ongoing for our London to Paris bike ride 2013 taking place on 17-21 July 2013.

Our London to Paris riders will arrive in Paris the day before the 100th Tour de France finishes in Paris.

This year we've got three fantastic routes to choose from including a brand new D-Day landing route via Portsmouth and two classic routes steeped in history via Calais, Abbeville and Beauvais and Calais, Arras and Compiègne.

Each one of our four-day routes lead you along beautiful country roads, through quiet picturesque villages and across some of the most spectacular countryside and historic sites that France has to offer.
