I would not normally do this, but a chap I work with is going to be cycling from London to Paris for a good cause, so I wanted to share that with you all in the hope that you could all spare a few quid.

Steve and his fellow team mates are to ride 350 miles from London to Paris starting at Hampton Court on Thursday 24th June finishing at the Eiffel Tower on Saturday June 26th.

The event which has been running since 2004 is highly popular and was sold out within hours of this years entries going live. London-Paris has been ranked as one of the world’s top participation events, alongside the London and New York marathons. Many illustrious sportsmen and celebrities have undertaken the challenging event in the past including: Stephen Roche (1987 Tour de France winner), James Cracknell, Sean Kelly, Brian Smith, Geoff Thomas and John Salako. This year Geoff Thomas and John Salako will be competing again along with Rebecca Romero (Olympic gold medallist) and Magnus Backstedt (ex pro cyclist and previous winner of the Paris Roubaix), Nigel Mansell and Will Carling.
