Despite reports of cyclists veering up to 25 miles off course and another rider being knocked over by a car, the group were all in good spirits heading in to the final day.
The Jersey convoy will have cycled 320 miles by the time they arrive in Paris after setting off from London’s Tower Bridge early on Wednesday morning.
Arriving in Calais the same evening, the group had overnight pit stops in Arras and Compiègne before beginning the final 60-mile push down to the French capital earlier this morning.
Speaking from his hotel in Compiègne last night, cyclist and JEP journalist Julien Morel said: ‘Everyone is in good spirits and we are looking forward to celebrating in Paris tomorrow evening.’
The group will spend the night in Paris before heading back to Jersey on Sunday evening.
The challenge, which is raising money for the Stroke Association and Driving for the Disabled Jersey, was the idea of former JEP assistant editor Anthony Lewis, who suffered a stroke nearly five years ago.
Riding a specially adapted trike, Mr Lewis has been joined in the challenge by friends, family, former colleagues, fellow stroke survivors and those simply inspired by him.
