Last week was National Bike week, and, following on from this, 12 intrepid cyclists will be getting onto their racing bikes to cycle from Lowestoft to Paris, on Tuesday 20th July. (Approx 450miles). The 5 day ride will finish in Paris on Saturday 24th July, where the riders will stay on to see the final stage of the Tour de France on Sunday 25th July. We are pleased to announce that amongst the riders will be Miguel Morgado of the Harrison Group.

The 12 cyclists will leave from Bannatynes in Lowestoft at 1pm on Tuesday 20th July and are planning to arrive in Paris on Saturday afternoon. Spectators are more than welcome to come down and cheer the cyclists on their way!

A support vehicle with drinks and new inner-tunes etc will be in attendance.
Money is being raised for "Children with Leukemia", and former Norwich City captain Craig Fleming is likely to be on hand to see the cyclists off and accept cheques on behalf of this worthwhile charity.

The Norwich-Paris Daily cycling itinerary as follows:

Tuesday - Lowestoft (UK) - Harwich (UK)
Wednesday - Hook (Holland) to Terneuzen (Holland)
Thursday - Terneuzen (Holland) to Roubaix (France)
Friday - Roubaix to St Quentin (France)
Saturday St Quentin - Paris (France)

All at the Harrison Group wish Miguel and all the other riders the best of luck with their efforts.
