Am really looking forward to this but can't decide what to do! Here followeth random Sunday evening thoughts prior to booking ferries, hotels, etc in the hope that more info will make things clearer...
I'm definitely going to Newhaven and on to Dieppe. Last year leaving you guys to get the ferry while we got the train back made me feel like a real party pooper!
But cycling further on the Saturday, eg to St Saens, sounds less fun than checking in somewhere, having a shower then a couple of glasses of wine in a cafe in Dieppe, lolling around watching the Tour and rolling in to bed when I run out of steam. I recall Dieppe to St Saens is smooth roads and pancake flat so, with an early start, I could catch up with the Paris-bound contingent in the morning.
Is anyone else going to stay overnight in Dieppe - either people going on to Paris or catching the morning ferry? If so I think I'll do that - but obviously would be a bit sad if no-one else does!
I've never cycled in Paris before so it would be fun to go up and down the Champs Elysee and cruise around a bit. It seems a bit of a shame not to see in the Tour, but I suppose the later trains are going to be a bit full. There is a Sunday evening Easyjet back to Luton which was going for about £80 incl bike (but I wouldn't put my best bike on a plane so would have to take my 2nd one). Anyone else thinking of staying for the Tour? I've never been to it but lots of people go over so it must be a fun day out.
And Andy ILB, are you really going on to Nice...?
(always assuming there is not a decent bar in Dieppe or environs of course, that imparts a wonderful welcome to 'les rosbifs en velo'
