CYZ Challenges

Here at CYZ we like a good challenge – and as we’re a registered charity they are are great way to raise funds but also a great way to meet new people and try something a little different.

There are so many exciting ways to raise money so we have put a few on the lists below:

Below are the challenges we have going on at present:

London to Paris Charity Bike Ride:

Your London to Paris cycling challenge will see you cycling 234 miles (377kms) over 3 days and through 2 countries. 

Your challenge begins in the leafy suburbs of West London where you will meet the rest of your group and navigate your way out of Greater London through the English countryside to the South coast.  You will head towards Hampton Court and then off on relatively traffic free, small country roads, negotiating the North and South Downs to Portsmouth. You then board an overnight ferry to Caen, snuggling into your berth for the night for a restful sleep following a long first day and a great cycling experience.

Your second day will see you continue your exciting journey past pretty French hamlets and through the beautiful French countryside until you reach the town of Evreux.

The penultimate day of your challenge pushes your stamina with 73miles  (118kms) of cycling and over 1000m of ascent to Paris and to the famous Arc de Triomphe, end point of the Tour de France.  It is here you can celebrate in style with a glass of champagne overlooking the Champs Elysees. You will then return home the following afternoon with some well earned comfort on the Eurostar
