Destination Tour Eiffel

DEREHAM Meningitis Research mem-ber of the Foundation’s Paul Smith is urging people to join a team from Paris to London for a bike ride 290 km, this summer.

Cyclists of all levels are sought for the event to be held between July 30 and August 2. The route will take cyclists to Newhaven, and then a ferry to Dieppe for a passage over a hotel in northern France.

Over the next three days, they will be south through the beautiful countryside of the finish under the Eiffel Tower.

After a glass of sparkling wine, there will be an easing cycle in the Eurostar train, where the bikes will be arranged and participants receive a well deserved rest for the return trip.

Paul cycling in Paris last summer and I loved every minute. He said: “I would recommend to anyone of any age who want a challenge, I had just turned 40 when I enrolled.

“It was wonderful cycling in London and the British countryside and very happy to be cycling in northern France just a day later.

“The journey to Paris was one of the highlights of this trip – the first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower has left us all very happy – and riding in the Arc de Triomphe was fantastic.

The foundation is a cause heart of Paul, his sister-in-law died of the Carolina Group B meningitis in 2006. Driven by a desire to make a difference in the fight against meningitis in his memory, Paul raised £ 2435 for charity.
