The Ride

The Laureus London to Paris Bike Ride is a fantastic opportunity to spend three days cycling through beautiful scenery and to raise money for a great cause at the same time. It's not an easy ride, but then it wouldn't be a challenge if it was! People of all abilities should feel free to sign up, as the team is split into groups according to ability, so that everyone can go at their own pace. All you need to do is put in some training, raise some funds and be prepared to enjoy a great experience!

In 2009 five time Tour de France winner Miguel Indurain joined our riders for a day of cycling, as did Olympic Decathlon legend Daley Thompson. To date it has not been confirmed which Laureus World Sports Academy members will be joining the 2010 ride, but this will be confirmed in the next few weeks.
