“At the invitation of HSH Prince Albert, The Premier of the Cayman Islands and I took
part in the annual Champagne & Oyster Cycle Club charity ride earlier this year, in aid of
the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation. This was a fantastic experience and gave
us inspiration to create our own charity ride in Monaco at the annual Monaco Yacht show.
The Cayman Islands and Monaco share so many similarities - our aim is to encourage riders
of all levels to take part and to raise as much money as possible for the Prince Albert
II of Monaco Foundation, in support of the amazing work it does for our planet and the
environment.”
- Eric Bush, Chief Officer, Ministry of International Trade, Investment, Aviation, & Maritime Affairs, Cayman Islands Government
The Ride
The 2019 route will begin at Stars ‘N’ Bars in Monaco Port, before heading out along
the beautiful coastline to the town of Menton. Riders will then head back to the
principality and finish with a Champagne reception in a location to be confirmed.
We invite participants of all ages and abilities to take part - the route has been chosen because
of the relatively easy terrain, although there will be an optional hill climb for the more
experienced riders. Single riders or large groups are equally welcome to take part.
Your guides for the day will be the husband and wife team of Veronica and Gustav Larsson.
The ex-professional riders are experienced in operating cycling tours throughout the
region and know the local roads as well as anyone.
Different groups, dependant on ability, will be formed at registration, meaning that everyone
can enjoy the ride at their own comfortable pace. The estimated total distance for the ride is 24
km which should take between 1 and 2 hours.
