Calais to Sennelager Charity cycle ride

The Challenge 2010 is a group of people who have pledged to raise funds for the Forces Children's Trust during 2010. The Forces Children’s Trust is a charity devoted to helping dependent children that have lost a parent whilst serving with the Armed Forces.

Part of the Challenge 2010 is a cycle ride, where we are aiming to take 50 cyclists from France to Germany.(details as follows):

Starting from Calais it is intended to complete four stages:

First stage Calais to Ghent ( Approx 90 miles) 28/9/10
Second stage Ghent to Deurne (Approx 110 miles) 29/9/10
Third stage Deurne to Ahlen (Approx 103 miles) 30/9/10
Final stage Ahlen to Sennelager (Approx 40 miles) 1/10/10
(All are subject to confirmation re accommodation etc)

Accommodation will be provided. Precise details TBC but may range from either a hotel to army barracks!

Participants will make their own arrangements to get their bikes/equipment to Dover on the evening 27/9/10. Transport will then be laid on to a hotel in Calais. Ride to commence following morning. Participants will be provided transportation (coach) back to Dover (via Calais) on 2/10/10. However, participants may make their own travel arrangements at their own cost.

Participants must provide their own cycles/equipment. It is anticipated that the Challenge 2010 cycle clothing will be available and it is hoped that participants would purchase in order to support the cause!

There are a few spaces left!!!!
