Parity for Disability Farnborough to France Bike Challenge Thursday
24 – Saturday 26 September (return Sunday 27 September)
Following the success of our 2007 Farnborough to France bike challenge, local charity Parity for Disability is running the event again in 2009.
We are looking for 15 cyclists with stamina to take part in our unique and exhilirating sponsored bike ride from Farnborough to its twin town of Meudon in France.
Participants will leave Parity's Farnborough day service on Thursday 24th September 2009, and after an overnight ferry crossing from Portsmouth the Le Havre, will travel through scenic Northern France before arriving to a hero’s welcome on Saturday 26th September at Meudon.
Although it is not a competitive race, participants need to be in good physical condition and will be expected to travel at an average speed of 15mph. They are asked to pay a £50 fee and raise at least £450 in sponsorship.
Parity for Disability provides vital services and support for young people with multiple disabilities in Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire. We hope this bike ride will raise at least £6,000. Those taking part will be helping provide vital services and support for some of the most vulnerable people in the area.
For more information, please contact Helene at the Parity office, 01252 375581 or helene@parityfordisability.org.uk. To download the application pack, please visit the events page at www.parityfordisability.org.uk.
Parity was advised in putting together the event by Donald Ashton of the Farnborough and Camberley Cycling Club.

Where is North Camp Village?
North Camp used to be the main shopping centre in
Farnborough before Kingsmead and Queensmead were built
in the 50s and 60s.
Roughly speaking the outline for North Camp follows
Farnborough Road to Lynchford Road, down Park Road
and Sycamore Road up to Boundary Road, where it comes
back to the Farnborough Road. Other definitions take
North Camp all of the way up to the Basingstoke Canal.
Some people will define North Camp as a larger area
with some suggesting it's smaller.
