The Paris Ride is complete; if you still like to be part of the ride, please add your name to the waitlist
The Paris ride starts and finishes close to the Arc de Triomphe; in the early morning hours the cyclists embark on their rides with different distances and pace levels guided by the NWC ride leaders. All cyclists meet at the Barn Hotel for a lunch break and the group photo. Upon return to Paris finishers will be celebrated at the Stadium Pierre Wimille and the children will take on their 5km cycling challenge in the Bois de Boulogne.
