The London to Paris Bike Ride 2011 is a classic journey and a unique and challenging way of experiencing both the rural and urban sides of England and France while you fundraise along the way – or so Stuart Hepburn joint MD of Building Innovation Limited thought when enlisting to embark on such an adventure.
Comprising of three days of cycling from London, through the rolling Kent countryside, across the channel, along quiet French roads and into the heart of Paris – covering some 300 miles across minor roads and lanes the ride is sure to be no picnic in the park and Stuart, who usually cycles 30 – 50mls in any one session, openly admits it will be a challenge.
Stuart is raising money for Action Medical Research, a great children’s charity dedicated to improving the health of babies and children in the UK. For almost 60 years the charity has been behind numerous breakthroughs such as the UK polio vaccine, ultrasounds scanning in pregnancy and more recently the fetal heart rate monitor a new state-of-the-art device that could help save thousands of at-risk babies.
The ride takes place 20th July – 24th July 2011 so Stuart will no doubt be spending more time on his bike in preparation.
We wish him the very best in his future endeavour and are confident he will succeed.
