| PHOTOS 2005 | Mike & Nick - Greenwich to Paris |
| Mike and Nick rode from Greenwich to Paris in 2005 (277miles and 300 riders) and raised money for the British Legion |  |
| The British Legion is highly regarded in France and it was considered an honour by villages en' route to host a stop and all the villagers would get involved and cater for us, this sometimes meant diverting the route slightly to accommodate them. |
 |
| Riding up the Champs-Elysees. The road only gets closed to traffic twice a year, the Tour de France and the "Pedal to Paris" ride, again a reflection of the recognition France gives to the British Legion. |
 |
| This chap was 80 years old, a truly remarkable feat to have cycled the whole route, we were in awe of him. |  |
| At the end of the day or in the morning before we started, there would be a ceremony which was very moving, with the local mayor and war veterans. |  |
