The Grand Depart…

So just 24 hours to go before our epic ride from Beverley to Paris begins. We are riding over 500 miles in seven days taking in Cambridge, London, Dover, Calais and Paris. There are six of us plus our Directeur Sportif and Driver Rick.
We are leaving from Cafe Velo on North Bar Within on Sunday 14th July. Garry the owner of Cafe Velo is opening up at 9am for breakfast and we are due to leave around 10am. Family, friends and supporters are welcome to join us and see us off on our First Stage to Sleaford. It will take us around five hours ride time with a little bit of climbing but a good leg stretcher for our first day.
We will be posting a daily blog so sign up as a follower to get notifications to your phone. It will be an epic ride and this is your chance to share it with us. So bon voyage!

    Hi

    I met some of you in the Finchhatton pub. Just to wish you well on your cycling adventure. I hope the weather remains mild and you have a blast. Very jealous

      Thanks Ann. The boys are taking a vote on whether we abandon the ride and stay tomorrow night for an evening of free ale! X x 7
