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.
Just a quick reminder that the date for this years COCC Ride has been fixed for 5th May 2024.
If you can let us know if you will be participating and your kit size, we can do the formal forms closer to the date.
Also get in touch, if you haven’t already done so, if you are interested in sponsoring the kit or party or are available to help with the support on the day.
Regards,
Just a heads up before you attack the Xmas and NY break, next year’s St Tropez to Monaco COCC ride will take place on Sunday 5th May 2024.
Application forms will be available early in the New Year - please confirm ASAP with details of your kit size requirements.
We also need volunteers to offer support on the day itself - please email me if you are interested and available.
We want to make the 2024 COCC ride the best yet so please sign up and get back on your bikes.
Happy Xmas and all the best for 2024.

Apologies - in the last post I stated that the ride will start at 8 am on Saturday from the Port car park in St Tropez. This was a Typo as you all know the ride will start at 8am on Sunday morning.
See you all soon
