Just finished riding unsupported from Big Ben to the Eifel Tower with 6 friends and their 6 children over 5 days. Children ranging in age from 1 to 8 on a combination of tagalongs, triple tandems and trailers.
Day 1 - Big Ben to Crawley
Day 2 - Crawley to Newhaven
Day 3 - 9am ferry to Dieppe then rode to Forges les Eaux
Day 4 - Forges les Eaux to Meulan-en-Yvelines
Day 5 - Meulan-en-Yvelines to the Eifel Tower
Got caught in some biblical rain on day 2 but apart from that, was lovely.
Rode the Donald Hirsch route. Would ride again. Children are capable of so much more than people give them credit for.
This is excellent, and just the sort of thing I'd like to do with my own 16 month old. Just need to convince some other parents that it'd be a good idea next summer...
