Acentic is proud that their CFO, Stuart Radcliffe, has recently participated in a charity bike ride over 4 days travelling from London to Paris between 2nd - 5th of September. The bike ride, organized by The Royal British Legion http://www.britishlegion.org.uk, has been running now for more than 15 years, with greater support and organization each year. It has become a critical part of the charity’s fund raising calendar, and the money raised from the ride, predicted to be in excess of £500,000, will all go towards providing financial, social and emotional support to those who have served and are currently serving in the Armed Forces and their dependents.

Stuart and the 300 other riders who joined the event covered a route of approximately 480 kilometres, starting at Greenwich Park in London on the 2nd of September and after arriving in Calais at the end of the first day, they followed a route through northern France. Stopping off at Beauvais and Abbeville they finally arrived in Paris late in the afternoon of the 5th of September. “This event was a great challenge for me”, Stuart reported. “While the distance covered over a short timescale left me thoroughly exhausted, I was ecstatic with the achievements of the whole cycling group and I am proud to have been involved in such an important charity event”.

Acentic supported Stuart throughout the 4 day ride and have received first hand the details about his unique experience, and here is the diary of his considerable journey.
