London to Paris for charity June 2012

Hi

Just wondering if anyone is or is thinking about doing the London to Paris ride for charity in June this year?

I'm really up for doing it but no one I know wants to

Let me know your thoughts

Thanks

Tom

Who are you looking to do it with? Quite a few organised around that time. Will be doing it either "arch to arc" or will organise a DIY trip around middle of June.

I am thinking of doing it in June with Global Adventure Challenges. Will be signing up as soon as my wife comes round to the idea as she thinks I'm daft to be doing something like this at my age. I'll be 63 on the day it starts.

Another '49er - a good year for cyclists!

I will be doing it in July (again) but I do it the easy way via Newhaven - Dieppe. It is only 170 miles riding which makes for two good days seperated by a kip on the ferry. It also has the advantage of combining two of the prettiest parts of England & France. If that is not enough you can always cycle back ...

I prefer to do it alone or in a small group. Its more relaxed, you can stop at any small patisserie or cafe that takes your fancy (you can't if you are 20+). But whether you prefer an organised event or DIY - it is very doable provided you do some 100km rides in first. Age is not the problem, its getting time ...

I organised one (L2P) last June for a group of workmates - one of the guys on the ride was around your age - no problems at all, he kept plodding along and didn't bother stopping when most of the others did so was always with us at the finish

I'm looking to do it for cancer research uk via classic tours June 22nd-25th.
