A call for interest in this once in a lifetime classic ride from London to Paris. Please put your name down if you really have a **serious** interest in doing this ride. No time wasters please as life is too short! This is a four day ride of approx 250 miles from the London Eye to the Eiffel Tour in Paris. The route follows the Avenue Vert using country lanes and traffic free cycling paths. The first day is Monday and our route takes us from London to Newhaven where we take the overnight ferry to Dieppe at a cost of around £40. From Dieppe we have the choice of two routes the longest is around 150 miles so we will plan accommodation en-route for the Tuesday and Wednesday nights arriving in Paris on Thursday afternoon. We shall stay overnight in Paris on the Thursday picking up bike bags from the hotel as we cannot transport fully assembled bikes on Eurostar. We plan to catch an afternoon train back to London arriving early evening, depending on the train this should cost around £65. Accommodation costs will be around £200. In addition please ensure that you have travel insurance that will cover you for accidents and any serious existing medical conditions. Unless you can provide evidence of cover we cannot take you on this ride. Normal holiday insurance may not cover you so you will need to go to a medical cover provider such as Staysure. This company does cover existing conditions including heart and stroke but it will cost you £2-300 for a single trip.
