With a good number of on road events, we've taken to the off road trails of towpaths, bridleways, farm tracks and flowing forest single track to bring you the gravel, adventure bike or mtb alternative.

The Adventure will see the first day heading from London to cross the channel on an overnight ferry with the opportunity to shower and eat before the boat sails.

Once in France, we'll ride through river valleys, forests, quiet rural French villages and then finally, on into Paris where we will officially mark the finish over looking the Eiffel Tower.

There will be plenty of pit stops in towns and villages to stock up on water and food.

Each day will end with a stay in a typical French hotel chain where we can debrief the day over a glass or two and enjoy a good meal to replenish the energy levels for the following day.

Once in Paris, we'll have time to celebrate then the following late morning, make our way to the Gard du Nord for the Eurostar return.

When we arrive in St Pancras, the van will be waiting with your bike.
