London to Paris Bike Ride 2026
22 July - 26 July
Cycle over 300 miles from capital to capital.
The London to Paris Bike Ride is an awesome cycle challenge and by far one of the best fundraising events in Europe, attracting hundreds of riders each year. You will spend 4 days in the saddle, cycling from capital to capital.
Enjoy riding along quiet French country lanes, through traditional market towns with views of the rolling green hills of Northern France, passing the war memorials and cemeteries of the Somme.
A spectacular finish awaits as you reach the home stretch around the Arc de Triomphe and along the Champs Elysées, before reaching the piece de resistance, the Eiffel Tower, which marks the finish line.
On this Tour de France finale challenge you'll arrive in Paris in time to witness the finale of the world's greatest cycle race.
