2025 Recap - Day 2

Day 2 of our journey to zero.

We kicked off the day with a private tour of the French Olympic Velodrome thanks to Xavier Perdereau. It was an amazing and inspiring symbol of speed, precision and love. Maintained by the artisan Gaetan SALON with such care and dedication it was an inspiring experience. 

Next stop: Equans Solar & Storage and their Challenger House; where we were welcomed with coffee and treats and spent some time meeting their different team members and we got a look around their stunning offices near Versailles — a perfect blend of sustainability and smart design. A huge thank you to the whole team for making such an effort to support us on our ride this year. We appreciate you all. 

Then on to Le Tour Eiffel where we met with the fantastic team at Apricum for great conversation, shared ideas, and of course, coffee with a view. The amazing James E. Varnham, FLPI who is one of my oldest and best friends (not in our industry and lives in Copenhagen) suprised me by turning up for coffee in Paris. Random and amazing Jimbo! 

And then — back on the bikes! We cycled to Château-Thierry, continuing our mission to connect, learn, and move towards net zero one kilometer at a time. The ride was a little hilly and my legs are feeling it at the end of the day. Amazing to ride with such a cool bunch of cyclists. Old and new friends and brilliant memories made. 

The journey continues.
