Weybridge to Paris – Mission Accomplished

We did it!   200 miles, 12 cyclists, 11 bikes, 4 days, 1 puncture, 1 hospital visit.

The plan was conceived in January by John McMahon and after months of planning, reconnaisance, training and preparation twelve of us set off from Weybridge to cycle all the way to Paris.
