Approx 350 hilly miles over the four days
Days 1 & 4 is a fairly hilly affair from London to Newhaven and back, approx 65 miles.
Day 2 & 3 to Paris is fairly rolling, with gentle ascents. The heat and distance can drain you, approx 110 miles one way.
Note - we will aim to have different routes on our return to mix things up.
Day 1 - we will stay in Ibis or similar in Dieppe.
Day 2, again Ibis or similar in Paris.
Day 3 will be on the night ferry - we hope to have cabins on this leg of the journey*
*Please note, they are not always available. Large chairs will be available to sleep in otherwise.
A road bike tour led by a qualified coach & ride leaders with hotel/ferry stays.
There will be hotel stays on the first two nights with breakfast provided at both. *Breakfast is not provided on Day 4.
Each participant will be given a jersey or gilet for the ride
Included will be the two ferry crossings from Newhaven to Dieppe return with cabins*
The ride will be led by qualified coaches and ride leaders who will be on hand to share insightful tips & tricks as you ride and prior to the event!
Routes have been tried & tested by our ride leaders, we can assure you they are brilliant! The ride is worth it for the cafe stops alone!
We have years of organising similar trips and you can rely on our expertise and trust us to take of your travelling affairs.
Chances are we will have (multiple) lunches on the road at a nice café/bakery or two on each day. Each evening, we'll head into town to grab some dinner.
The ride is likely to start in East London. You will have to organise how to get to & from there.
Full refunds can be given up to 60 days before the trip, after which refunds are unavailable.
We will start our ride late morning of Saturday, covering a fairly hilly 65 miles as we leave the big smoke and head to the south coast. There will be a 4-5 hour ferry ride (cabin included to freshen up & catch a nap) before arriving in Dieppe, France. Thereafter, it is a short ride to the hotel where we will stay the night.
Due to the late finish the night earlier, we will start later after having the provided breakfast. There is a 110 mile ride to cover to Paris, filled with rolling hills, nothing too testing. We'll have two planned café stops before taking our pictures infront of the tower! Then it's a short ride to the hotel before freshening up and heading out for dinner.
Our ferry this day is at 11pm, allowing for a late start in the morning after the hotel breakfast. The route back to Dieppe will be different to the one we came down, allowing us to take in more of the beautiful French countryside. Before jumping on the night ferry, we'll have dinner and grab some breakfast from the local mart as none is provided on the ferry.
Please note there may be no cabins on the night ferry, and sleeping and comfort will be compromised for this leg of the journey.
We will arrive back in the UK at 5am - with keen riders being able to complete Paris - London within 24 hours.
On Day 4 - the ferry arrives in Newhaven at 5am, with only 65 miles to cover back to London. Again, we'll aim to use different roads back to London where our ride ends!
