Spent a week cycling from Paris to Lyon with a bunch of strangers. Did around 600km in total. First time I'd ever ridden for more than two consecutive days. Managed a 10km climb and more, which I never thought I'd be able to dom The french countryside was beautiful. Lucked out with blue skies each day at a max 30°C. Camping in forests or hosted by some wonderful people who let us into their homes.
Roughly the route was

And was all to raise money for a refugee shelter in Athens (will be selling some gear in classifieds.) Five of the crew are cycling onto Athens, arriving in 5 weeks time. Check the project out at http://www.thighsofsteel.com
