Over 3 days in November I will be cycling 520km to Cannes to raise money for an amazing charity – Coram.
On the flat, this would probably be a bit of a stretch but achievable. However, the route from Le-Puy to Cannes involves 8400m of climbing. To put it into perspective my typical 3 hour Sunday ‘Kent hills’ route packs-in a measly 1000m of ascent but leaves me pretty wrecked for an afternoon of looking after the kids.
Here’s the plan:
● Day 1 - 2949m of climbing over 163km
● Day 2 - 2326m of climbing over 200km
● Day 3 - 3098m of climbing over 160km
Coram is one of the UK’s oldest children's charities. Coram's mission is to develop, deliver and promote best practice in the support of vulnerable children and young people through adoption, fostering and therapy. The ‘Impact’ page of the Coram site is really worth a look to see the work being done every day.

Any donation, large or small would be very much appreciated.
All funds will go directly to Coram and Club Peloton's other beneficiary charities - the cost of this event, the support teams, the accommodation has already been covered by the entry fee.
I’m looking forward to the event, to the challenge posed by the climbs and to arriving in Cannes on 12th November, by which point we will have well and truly earned any money you can give.
