PEDAL FROM PARIS 2015: Day 1 – Va-va-voom as cyclists get on their bikes for charity!

THE 241-mile cycle ride from Paris to Yeovil will begin today (Thursday, April 30, 2015) as just over 100 cyclists get on their bikes.

The team arrived in the French capital yesterday in readiness for the start of their marathon charity cycle ride in which they hope to raise thousands of pounds for the Yeovil Town Community Sports Trust, Cyclists Fighting Cancer and Cystic Fibrosis.PEDAL FROM PARIS 2015: Day 1 – Va-va-voom as cyclists get on their bikes for charity!

They will be setting off from Yeovil’s twin French town of Herblay, which sits just outside of Paris, and head for their overnight stop at Bernay, a distance of around 63 miles.

Tomorrow they will be cycling to Caen in order to catch an overnight ferry to Portsmouth.

They are planning to arrive back at Yeovil Town Football Club’s Huish Park stadium on Sunday (May 2, 2015) at around 2pm.

The cyclists all have their own individual Just Giving fundraising pages in which people can sponsor them.
