London-Paris The Hunchman Way

London to Paris- The Hunchman way - Attempting to cover 434km over 24 hours.  

This wasn't your typical London to Paris cycle. We opted for the toughest route imaginable, making it difficult to truly convey the magnitude of our challenge with the Hunchman. Absolutely mad from start to finish is one way of looking at it. Brutal and relentless is another one - from the training regime to the beers at the end.

Cycling for 26 hours through the night took it completely out of us. We underestimated the struggles such as the mist and hills in Northern France which led to sweats and shivers every ten minutes, repeated until sunrise. Thankfully, the support from the Hunchman - and food stops - kept us powered through. Absolutely fantastic cause, and all worth it in the end. No better feeling than celebrating under the Arc de Triomphe. The challenge has blessed us with lifelong memories and bonds between the team and support crew.
