People have asked how it is I am getting back from Paris. I could take the Eurostar which takes just over 2 hours but at £120 it is an expensive option. I could take a coach -at £20, it is quite inexpensive. I suppose I could even fly back. But quite frankly, with a perfectly good piece of transportation under me, why would I want to come back any other way than on the bike that got me there in the first place. The route is no longer coming back than going - hence the name of the blog 'London2Paris&Back'. I expect to get a lot of grief about this decision but it is now made, subject to change depending on where the pressure comes from (and how much of it haha). So here is the plan:
Sunday Sept 16th -55 miles to ride
10:30am - Serivce at St. Augustine
12 noon - (or as soon after) Leave the gates for New Haven
6pm - Ferry leaves New Haven for Dieppe
11pm - Arrive Dieppe (they are 1 hour ahead of us) Head to the Ibis hotel which is close by
Monday Sept 17th - 112 miles to ride
5:30am - Get on the Road
?:?? - Arrive Arc de Triomphe in Paris; Head to Hotel
Tuesday 18 Sept - 0 miles to ride
All Day - Relax and rest, drink coffee at cafes and watch the people
Or finish the ride first and then relax and rest
Wednesday 19 Sept - 112 miles to ride
Very early - Get on the Road
?:?? Arrive Dieppe and head to hotel
Thursday 20 Sept - 55 miles to ride
8:00 am - Ferry leaves Dieppe for New Haven
11:00 am - Arrive New Haven
5:00 pm - Arrive Home
I invite your prayers for safety, strength, energy, and perseverence. Oh yes, and good weather. Lots of rain could hamper the schedule. But if it does rain, it just means I will take a little more time
