Tomorrow The Argus editor
Michael Beard will be setting off
for Paris.
But it certainly isn't going to be a
holiday as he is pedalling all the
way there on his bicycle.
Michael will be starting out from
Brighton with 50 other cyclists to
raise money for The Argus Appeal
as part of its 50th anniversary
celebrations.
After a leisurely ferry ride from
Newhaven to Dieppe the four-day
150-mile trip to Paris via Chantilly
begins in earnest. Michael wasn't
taking any chances before the
event and arranged for his bike to
be checked over by mechanics at
Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach
Company.
Other companies across Sussex
have supported the event
through donations and equipment
supplies.
Sussex Signs not only wrote a
sponsorship cheque for £100 but
also produced banners for the
start and finish.
