CC4Pacific

CC4 Pacific consists of cousins Clement Heliot and Christophe Papillon representing their home country of France in the inaugural Great Pacific Race. GPR 2014 is not the first challenge this dynamic duo have undertaken. In 2010, they crossed Europe by bike. During that experience they developed the special bond necessary to undertake an adventure as grand as the Great Pacific Race. Before they finished peddling through Europe, they were already thinking about their next challenge: to row an ocean. Three years later, they are finally ready. You can follow CC4 Pacific on their website, Facebook and Twitter (@CC4Pacific).
