What to expect during the charity ride from St Tropez to Monaco, organised by the Champagne and Oyster Cycling Club of Monaco (COCC) on 28 April 2019.
We caught up with professional cyclist Tiffany Cromwell, a yearly participant in the COCC ride to get the lowdown on how she got into cycling, why she takes part in the COCC ride, what goes on during the event and her advice for future cycling enthusiasts. Read all in our Q&A below.

Neptune will donate a portion of their takings to the charities.
Please advise ASAP if you are interested in attending in order that we can advise numbers.

For the 10th Anniversary we want to hold the best COCC party ever and would like as many people as possible to attend. In order to achieve this, entry will be free and all are welcome.
The Street Party at Slammers will start at 14h and there will be a paid BBQ and Oyster Bar with Live Music from a 6 piece Paul Dobie Band and 5 piece Caligagan Band.
Last year, the COCC Bike Ride raised over 70,000 Euros for the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation.
This year for the first time funds raised will be shared between the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation and the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.
The My Name’5 Doddie Foundation is committed to funding research to find effective treatments for motor neuron disease and to helping patients and families living with this devastating disease.
Donations can be made at the links below
COCC - Princess Charlene Foundation

Please share this info with all your friends, colleagues and family and encourage as many people as possible to donate and come to the Street Party
See you all soon

Are you ready for the 2024 COCC bicycle ride from St Tropez to Monaco? We will be setting off from the Presqu'île de Saint Tropez at about 8am and heading towards Italy, past Saint Raphael over the Esterels, past Cannes, Antibes for a quick stop in Nice, and then on to Monaco to the finishing line at Slammers.
The team at Slammers will be waiting for the riders, their families, and friends to serve drinks and have organised quite a line-up of bands and music to get the party started. Chilli No. 5 will also be ready with gourmet hot dogs, meat & vegan, big burgers, meat & vegan, BBQ wings, fries & sides for anyone hungry after the 130km ride. Chilli No. 5 will be offering a range of mild to very hot chilli sauces to try for anyone who likes some spice.
The road will be closed for a classic Slammers street party so you will need to buy tickets in advance for the party, including street food, music and a spring night of fun. Remember, proceeds from the tickets will go to, as every year, to the Princess Charlene Foundation, which promotes awareness of the dangers of drowning across the world.
To buy tickets, please e-mail us, contact Damian and the social media team through Instagram, or pick up your tickets from Terry & Lisa at Slammers. There have been 100+ tickets sold, so please get in touch with us for tickets if you have not already to avoid any disappointment on the night. Riders have already got party tickets included. See you there.
Final reminder - we are placing the kit order for this years ride on Wednesday 20th March - if you want to take part and have not yet notified us of your kit size please reply ASAP.
