The Champagne and Oyster Cycling Club of Monaco prepares for the Saint-Tropez to Monaco charity bike ride – The 11th edition of the Champagne and Oyster Cycle Club (COCC) ride from Saint-Tropez to Monaco will take place this Sunday, 27th April, bringing together cyclists, celebrities, and philanthropists for a day of sport, fundraising, and celebration. The event will conclude with a lively open-air after-party in the heart of Monaco. This annual charity ride, which has raised around €100,000 each year, supports two important causes: the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, which focuses on water safety and drowning prevention around the world, and the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, a UK-based charity funding research into motor neuron disease.
Cyclists will depart from Saint-Tropez at 8 am, aiming to arrive in Monaco by the late afternoon. The event will culminate in the COCC Street Party at Slammers Pub, an open-invitation celebration from 2 pm until late. Guests can enjoy a BBQ by Chilli No. 5, live music and plenty of refreshments. The after-party promises to be a festive conclusion to the charitable ride. Tickets for the COCC Street Party are available. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the atmosphere and support the ongoing fundraising effort.
The COCC was created in 2011 by seven friends who shared a passion for cycling and philanthropy. Their charity ride along the Côte d’Azur has grown significantly since then, attracting participation from the likes of Prince Albert II himself and other sporting icons. Sadly, this year’s ride will be marked by the absence of Eddie Jordan, who was a frequent and cherished participant. Riders and supporters will be thinking of him as they pedal along the Riviera coastline.
