The London-Paris 2013

The London-Paris is recognised as one of the world's most exciting cycling events open to the public and is the closest the amateur rider can get to the Tour de France experience.

The 2013 edition will be celebrating the event's 10th Anniversary and along with some special guest to help us celebrate we will be hosting a spectacular 10th Anniversary dinner / party in Paris.

The event is distinguished by having motorbike outriders, rolling road closures in France and professional logistical back up along the 520km route, from Hampton Court to The Eiffel Tower.  In Paris, The London-Paris is one of only two cycling events granted road closures in the centre of the French capital - the other is the Tour de France.  The peloton, with its 50 motorbike outriders, rolls along the famous Parisian streets to an emotional finish.

The 450 cyclists, riding in seeded speed groups, are supported by HotChillee's 150-strong crew which includes mechanics, marshals, outriders sports therapists and our experienced Ride Captains.

The Daily Telegraph listed The London-Paris as one of the world's top 25 mass participation events, alongside the New York and London marathons.   It also named The London-Paris as one of the top 10 adventure events for women and gave us a top 10 place in international endurance events. Eurosport coverage for 2011 & 2012 was very well received going by the viewing figures and we expect to provide more TV coverage for 2013.
