I saw something which took a long route to Schalke earlier today, Olaf - 'a propos nothing much'...

this route to Schalke was even longer (and MUCH nicer...) http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=avppallzcfbxqmtk

@User13710 et @User - are you both up for the return Rouen deviation Sunday night for a Dieppe/Newhaven ferry Monday evening? Anybody else?

My preferred pad is the B&B Hotel (free wifi, loos IN the room). 44 euro for Avenue de Canadiens (which also has the more basic Premiere Classe and very basic Formule1 nearby).
Forecast hot & sunny for a really nice Eurostar free ride home.

I am and have booked the Ibis Budget, Rouen Petit Quivilly. What is your plan for Sunday?

To be decided Saturday night

But for a starter for ten I would suggest a train out of the Parisian suburbs around 9/10 am. Then a ride to Rouen the easy way if its hot or maybe a bit harder if it isn't. Possibly taking in a stop at Givenchy for a bit of artistic culture or not. I mean why can't we make it up and enjoy as we go? We shouldn't be up against any serious time schedules or unknowns. TMN can vouch for that based on last year.

Michael and I are booked into the Le Regence Hotel arrondissement 8 Saturday http://www.leregencehotel.com/. They say we can park our bikes on the balcony.

That all sounds fine to me.

And to be too friendly I've just booked the Ibis Budget, Rouen Petit Quivilly too. Despite it not being too handy for Buffalo Grill

I've spoken to Luciano and the Luna Rossa is looking forward to seeing us at 7.30.

Now.........that may entail me slowing the ride down as we go through Sussex, but, hey, it looks like a nice night.

Early start on Saturday, peeps! It looks like being fiercely hot in Paris, and the more miles we get under our belts before the temperature rises the better.

I really do think that I've made a better fist out of the way in to Paris this time. (Famous last words...)

@StuartG I'm looking forward to this, especially the avoiding of the Buffalo Grill . What's @Michael Adu doing, is he riding back with us?

The best way to avoid the Buffalo Grill is to go round the outside, round the outside.

Nope. Two nights with me is more than enough ...

Will this involve electricians and will we get change from a 20 euro note?

You're a star (you probalby knew this already)

Good luck everyone. Self, Ross & umpteen others will be heading to Dunwich Saturday night. So if Claud could sort out the forecast headwind we'd appreciate it

Sadly, my powers start to wane at the Severn Bridge.

be afraid!

Which begs the question - when its very hot is it best to wear a wicking baselayer under your top?
