I'm thinking of a shortish (maybe a week / 10 days or so) solo ride from one ferry port to another. So far I've got the following in mind:
Roscoff to Cherbourg (around 300 miles)
St Malo to Dieppe (around 230 miles)
Cherbourg to Dieppe (around 200 miles)
Cherbourg to Calais (around 300 miles)
Le Havre to Calais (around 175 miles)
Calais to Hook of Holland (around 260 miles)
So far I'm erring on the side of Calais to Hook, simply because I like the idea of riding through 3 countries but it is potentially rather dull landscape wise (though riding home from Harwich is only 70 miles). Roscoff to Cherbourg looks interesting too, though a pig to get to Plymouth from here to catch the Roscoff ferry.
It would be an easy going ride and I reckon about 40-50 miles a day is about right. Any thoughts/ suggestions welcome.
