5 ways you can support the London - Monaco cycle ride

With just a month to go until the London - Monaco Cycle Ride, we bring you five reasons to support the teams behind this fundraising event.

40 cyclists are taking part in the London to Monaco Cycle Ride, organised by Winch Design in conjunction with Blue Marine Foundation. Made up of cyclists from the superyacht and ocean conservation worlds, the riders will undertake a gruelling 10-day cycle from London to Monaco Yacht Show in a bid to raise £500,000 for the Blue Marine Foundation.

The first London - Monaco Cycle Ride takes 10 days and will see the teams undertake 10 stages, covering over 1,500km.

They will take in three countries, passing terrain that ranges from gentle rolling hills to the majestic Rhone Alps. The cyclists will face 16,000 metres of elevation, and put their wheels through 16.8 million revolutions.
