Paris To Swansea

320 miles of beautiful rural roads, to raise over £80,000 for Maggie’s

Sarn Helen Events, Action Bikes and the South Wales Evening Post have teamed up to raise money for Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre’s.

Come and join us on the Pedal Paris2Swansea bike ride, a fantastic charity challenge starting from the capital of France, through rural countryside, over the channel, into sleepy England, and on to the heart of South West Wales, finishing at Morgans Hotel.

You’ll be joined by over 100 equally enthusiastic individuals who are all in it for the same reasons; to raise funds for a worthy cause, make a few friends along the way, and get a real sense of achievement.
