Leicester to Paris Bike Ride

News

20 Jul 2012

On the 22nd of August 2012, Lee Coxon of Hugglescote along with Graham Smart of Rothley, Ian Smart of Leicester Forest East, Richard Conway of Grimston and Ian Smith of Desford will take on the challenge of cycling from Rothley in Leicester to the Trocadero in Paris. Starting at 8am from The Red Lion Public House in Rothley, it will take 4 days to complete the mammoth ride and clock up a distance of 400 miles, with a well earned short rest on the ferry from Dover to Calais.

LOROS was chosen as their charity as they wanted to make a difference in their home towns, with all 5 of the men being born and raised in Leicestershire and LOROS having a connection with all of them at some point in their lives.

For anyone wishing to make a donation a Just Giving page has been set up as: www.justgiving.com/lee-coxon
