The Champagne and Oyster Cycle Club’s (COCC) highly anticipated 140km St-Tropez to Monaco charity bike ride will take place this year on Sunday, May 6.
This seventh edition, which departs from the port of St-Trop’ at 8 am, caresses the red rock Massif de l’Esterel, passes in front of the Palais de Festival in Cannes and along the Coast to finish in Monaco at 5 pm – with a few rehydration points along the way, including Ma Nolan’s pub in Nice – will as usual support the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, to help in the development and growth of the awareness program on water safety and the risks of drowning and to help children to swim.
Over the past six years, some 600 riders of the COCC of Monaco, including Prince Albert, have taken part in this annual St Tropez to Monaco charity ride and raised over €600,000. Monies raised in 2017 were donated to a first aid and CPR training complex in Loumbila, Burkina Faso, a joint project with the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, the Monaco Red Cross and the Burkinabe Red Cross.
