Cycle to Cannes 2008

On Tuesday March 11 the C2C peloton arrived in Cannes - 115 having ridden from London, 15 from Bercelona. The group rode along the Croisette before turning into the forecourt of the Palais de Festival where Peter Rhodes of MIPIM presented all the riders with medals.

The Cycle to Cannes charity challenge is an annual 5-day 1500km cycling endurance event suitable for fit commuters as well cyclosportive riders. It is probably the closest an amateur cyclist will get to feeling like a "pro" having full support, rolling road closures and covering up to 300km a day. After the completing the ride, cyclists – all professionals in development, architecture or planning - change their lycra for their business suits and take part in the MIPIM Property Fair.
