Those saddling up for the KM Big Bike Ride can start planning their next holiday or short break to a dream destination.

Every participant will be automatically entered in to a competition to win a pair of Eurostar tickets redeemable against trips to locations including Paris, Lyon and Marseille.

Booking is now open for the ride which is staged at Betteshanger Park, near Deal on Sunday, April 24.

Riders have the choice of either a 50K countryside or 100K coastal route, and will receive a limited edition medal and goody bag upon return. Sportive photographs will also be available.

Refuelling stations will be providing throughout both routes supplying hydration and sustenance.

The Vattenfall-supported event can be ridden for charity or simply for fun, and places can be booked online at www.kmbigbikeride.co.uk where a £5 discount will be applied when using code KMPRBB16. Alternatively, riders can pay on the day.

Lisa Craig, events manager at the KM Charity Team which organises the ride, said: “Sightseeing and shopping in Paris could be a by-product for a lucky cyclist at this year’s ride. As well as offering you an action-packed day out, we could be supplying your next getaway too. Secure your place today!”

The ride is open to all, but entrants aged 12-17 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
