Throughout the route, they'll be carrying tents, sleeping bags, clothing, food & bike repair gear.

 

The route is still being determined but will be loosely based around:

 

Calais --> Amiens --> Paris --> Lyon --> Avignon --> Aiz-en-Provence --> Fréjus --> Monaco

 

The mileage will be around 1000 miles, with a daily target of approximately 100 miles. That'll require a daily intake of around 8000 calories and a few rest days en-route. Still, they hope to complete the journey within 2 weeks which will give them another week to try their French on the beaches and Cafés along the French riviera. They'll be flying back from Nice after the 3 weeks, straight into Liverpool (John Lennon) airport.

Please show some support by sponsoring them. You can even keep an eye on their blog/satellite tracking & leave them a few words of encouragement in their Guestbook as they're cycling. The event will use GPS tracking to allow you to follow their progress in real-time from their "Watch-Live" page.

 

They'll be updating this page and blog as the departure date gets closer so please do bookmark their site and check back every now and again. If you're near London on 31st August, they would love you to call over and cheer them on!!

 

Andy and Jon thank you for you kindness and support in advance! :smthumbup
