Ill be cycling l'avenue verte from Dieppe to Paris, then back to London. Bivouac en route, and a nice campsite outside Paris on the Sienne to chill out and take a shower in between exploring the city. Ive put a brooks saddle and some ergon grips on my bike too which im looking forward to field testing!
Nice, i love cycling in France, but i don't know that part at all . You plan just one stop between Dieppe and Paris?
Took me about a 1000 km to ride in my brooks saddle, now it is just amazing. But i was cursing it in the beginning.
Wish you a great trip and luck with the weather!
Im going to take my time in France and spend some time in the towns I pass so ive given myself 3 days to travel each way between the ferries. Ive been to paris once before but I havent seen normandy so id like to look around on the way.
Ive been commuting to work on my saddle for a while so I think its broken in now.
Thanks :)
It's blowing my mind that you can bike from London to Paris. What's the total distance?
The official route is 100 miles in uk, 150 in france. Ive also found an alternate route for france which is 120. im going to ride one there, and the other back
I've only done the 50-60km from Dieppe, but I've heard all the French side is really well done, you'll enjoy it!
