Welcome to Leasedrive Velo’s London to Paris Bike Ride 2008 website. On this site you will find photos and information relating to the bike ride which took place between 19 and 22 June 2008. The team included 14 riders and 4 support crew members and covered a total distance of 250 miles from Parliament Square in London to the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in the centre of Paris.
Altogether We managed to raise over £14,000 in total for our chosen charity Marie Curie Cancer Care which is fantastic news. We would like to say a huge thank you to all of those people who supported us for the ride and helped us to smash our minimum fundraising target of £5,000.
Many thanks
