350 Miles from Paris to Milton Keynes

A 'return to base' bike ride of over 350 miles starting in the French Capital and following, in part, the classic Avenue Verte route , through Gisors, to Dieppe, overnight ferry to Newhaven and then a (swing swang) cycle to London. An overnight stop in the East End. A Sunday ride back to MKRUFC where a reception committee will be there to receive us in all our our splendour.

We will be raising funds for Willen Hospice, Cardiac Risk in the Young and of course MKRUFC. There is more info on our nominated charities below with a little bit of detail about who they are and what they do. 

Willen Hospice - provide free care to end of life patients and their families in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas.  Only 15% of their running costs are met by the NHS, the rest is fundraised. As a much needed community facility who have supported many of us personally,  team ROF are happy to continue to raise vital funds for Willen Hospice. 

Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) - in the UK, at least 12 young people die a week of undiagnosed heart conditions. CRY is working to reduce the frequency of this, to support those who are diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening cardiac condition and bereavement services to those families affected by Young Sudden Cardiac Death (YSCD).  We aim to raise enough money to have a cardiac screening day for all MKRUFC players aged 14-35 years to identify anyone who may be at risk.
