If your cycling to Paris , why does your ride partner ( or 2) need to libe in the midlands ???

Main reason is that because its a longish trip that we could train together for 3 or 4 months before the trip and obviously get to know each other better before spending 5 days in each others pockets so to speak

But open to suggestions

IF YOU CAN DO 70 MILES A DAY OVER 8 HOURS AND COPE WITH SOME HILLS (GRANNY GEARS MUST HAVE) then it will be fine

sorry on capitals

you'd be welcome to join us for the latter part of your trip. We'd leave the centre of London at midnight Thursday, cycle to Newhaven, catch the Friday morning ferry then go on another twenty miles or so that afternoon. We'd then cycle the 86 miles or so to the centre of Paris on the Saturday.

If you're planning to return by Eurostar then might I suggest a look at.......
