London to Paris bike ride
17TH October 2019
The Howard de Walden Estate cycle from London to Paris for charity The West London Mission
The Howard de Walden Estate held its inaugural community bike ride at the end of September, departing from Marylebone in torrential rain and arriving in sunny Paris.
The logistics were undertaken by Club Peloton and 35 of the Estate’s occupiers took part alongside representatives from the host team covering 330km in total.
Andrew Hynard, Chief Executive of The Howard de Walden Estate, commented “It was a fabulous team effort by medics, teachers, retailers, hoteliers, chief executives, and all the other riders who became a very close knit group united by the charitable cause and the Marylebone connection.”
Over £50,000 has been raised to date for the West London Mission, a local Marylebone charity. Established in 1887, West London Mission (WLM) empowers people affected by homelessness, poverty and trauma to live more fulfilling lives.
