Sauce team member, Olivia Cameron, is taking part in the Londres-Paris Cycle Tour with her partner, James Franklin, on 25-27 June.
Olivia and James will be joining over 300 riders from across the world to embark on this unique three day “Tour de France” style endurance event for amateur and cyclosportive riders. It is the “professional event” for amateurs! Like a pro event it has full support, rolling road closures and covers 520 km in three days followed by a rest day (and celebrations!) in Paris.
This PRO/AM event has seen stars such as double Olympic Gold James Cracknell. Key figures in this year’s event includes ex CSC Team Director Sportif Scott Sunderland, who took the team and Carlos Sastre to victory in the Tour de France, Stephen Roche (retired professional road racing cyclist – only the second cyclist to win the Triple Crown of victories in the Tour de France, the Giro d’Italia stage races and the world cycling championship), Geoff Thomas (former England footballer) and Brian Smith (retired professional road racing cyclist).
The Daily Telegraph recently listed the event as one of 25 International events to enter alongside others such as the New York and London Marathons.
For this event, Olivia and James are raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Macmillan is a fantastic cause and one that has provided exceptional support to both our families. All of the costs for the event are covered by us, so every pound we raise will go directly to Macmillan. If you would like to sponsor Olivia and James, please go to www.justgiving.com/livsandjames
