Cycling from London to Paris is one of the great cycle experiences in Europe. Passing through picturesque Kent countryside, we cross the Channel and continue through the small villages and medieval market towns of Northern France, passing the famous battlefields of the Somme and Agincourt. With long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill-climbs, the sight of the Eiffel Tower, our finishing point, evoked a real sense of achievement. My role, as the project manager, ensured I was actively involved in all aspects of the project from the initial route planning to stage to the fund-raising strategy meetings, right through to web design and social media delivery while cycling.
