Hardcore Welsh Fans Cycle to Stade De France for Six Nations

Six die hard Welsh rugby fans have got on their bikes and cycled from the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff (in Wales) to the Stade de France in Paris, a total of 450 km.

I've always thought that the easiest way to get to Paris wouldn't include a bike.

Anyway, they are trying to get to the stadium to watch the six nations match between France and Wales for a Friday night match.

They are all wearing matching welsh flag tops (as you can see from the photo,) and  Nicole Cooke masks (the Welsh Olympic gold medalist).

They left Cardiff at 6 AM on Thursday morning, hoping they would get to Paris in time.

They are hoping to see Wales make history by equalling England and France's joint record of nine consecutive tournament wins.

Show your support for them here.

Look out for Benoit Baby, the fly half for France, and Martyn Williams, the flanker for Wales, as he will also be setting a record of 46 Five or Six Nations appearance, passing the mark set by legendary Wales and Lions scrum-half Gareth Edwards.
