Cycle to Cannes 2009

Blessed with unseasonably dry weather and a tail wind, 63 cyclists made the trip to Cannes. Of these, a record 6 completed the entire 1500km distance. On arrival in Cannes, Mayor of London Boris Johnson congratulated the cyclists outside the Palais before receiving the relay baton on the London Stand inside MIPIM. The ride generated a recession busting £130,000 for charitable causes.

Cycle to Cannes 2006

17 riders completed the Calais to Cannes ride in this the first year. We had no rolling road closure, one bus (which we also slept in) and a camper van for support. The weather was atrocious in northern France with snow, sleet, rain and temperatures that froze water bottles solid. We raised £110,000 for our charities.
