FIVE DAY CYCLING CHALLENGES
We offer a range of cycling challenge trips usually held over 5 days see below for more details.
YORK 2 PARIS
From under the shadow of York Minster to the looming presence of the Eiffel Tower this 5 days of cycling will be an unforgettable experience.
Setting out from under the beautiful south facade of York Minister cyclists will experience the gentle undulations and stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Wolds before an overnight ferry to the historic Belgium city of Bruges. From here we hit the flatlands of northern France, experiencing one of the most iconic climbs of the Tour of Flanders as well as having a go on the bone crunching cobbles of the Paris-Roubaix cycle race, one of the toughest in the world dubbed 'The Hell of the North'.
Other highlights will include the Great War cemeteries of the Pas de Calais region and shaded forests of the national parks north of Paris, before we make our final approach to the French capital, riding up the legendary Champs Elysees before finishing in front of the Eiffel Tower.

“Craig and Phil looked after us very well on their first York 2 Paris ride. We found them to be very professional and attentive.
I would recommend them as a team. Well done and many thanks from the York Pedallers.”

while you sorted everything that is normally a hassle on holiday, was excellent.”
