The First London to Paris Ride of 2009

Leicester-based IT manager, John Hughes, has torn himself away from his desk this summer to take part in the first of this year’s London to Paris events, a 450km cycle ride. John set off from London in the early morning of June 3rd and spend 4 days cycling through the English and French countryside, finishing up in Paris on Saturday afternoon.

We caught up with John in Paris at the finish line under the Eiffel Tower.  He said the trip was “…a fantastic experience. So well-organised and we had a lot of fun along the way. Everyone I met was raising money for a great cause and there was a fantastic team spirit throughout the event.”

Huge thanks to John for taking this great challenge and raising a fantastic £1,500 for Children Today.
