FOTS Cycle to Paris 2026
In 2024 a group of 20 parents pedalled their way from Trinity school to Paris over two days raising over £50,000 for school and the Chiltern Center (an amazing local charity providing specialist care for you adults with disabilities). On the 12-13 June 2026 we will be repeating this charity ride, and we’d like to go even bigger and better.
Whether you're an experienced cyclist or just someone who enjoys a challenge, we’re welcoming riders of all levels. The route will take us on a two-day adventure through stunning surrey hills to Newhaven, across the channel and onwards through rolling landscapes and cafes of northern France all the way to Paris. The ride is about more that the physical challenge; it’s about harnessing pedal power to raise essential funds for the school and the Chiltern Center. It’s an opportunity to push your limits, make a difference, and forge new friendships.
We're currently gauging interest and if you think you'd like to join us on the ride, assist as one of the support drivers or have links to a local business that would like to get involved then please contact Will Wright +44 7932 709122 on WhatsApp for more details, we’d love to hear from you. Looking forward to riding together in 2026 for a great cause!
