Friday night
Greenwich-Newhaven .
Saturday morning
Off the ferry Dieppe-Forges Les Eaux-Gournay en Bray-Chars-Herblay-Paris.Followed the route on street view as using Google maps to get to Broadstairs a while back ended up on gravel for far too long. Tried to keep it as straight and on tarmac as possible as i was tasked with planning and organising this whole thing for the three of us.

i did pretty much the same route a few weeks ago, in 24hrs, but on a road bike.
was great, the avenue vert is great, pan flat and straight. The only thing that i didn't like was whoever put that road there, for some reason felt the need to put a sign, every 2kms or so with the distance to paris. which gets tiresome to say the least.take lots of sunblock! that last 60kms or so for us was in middle of the day bright sun on wide open roads with 0 shade, luckily we had spare, otherwise we wouldve gotten burnt to a crisp
good luck ,im sure itll be great

Streetview player is your friend for route checking:
Google Maps is ABSOLUTE SHIT for cycle routing. Do not use. It once tried to send me up a massive flight of stairs. (Down would be OK for those with rad BMX skills... but up?)
Strava is much better although it tends to send you along largish roads even when nicer lanes exist. Nothing beats using someone else's properly and lovingly researched route, though.

What is your route? I did it last month london-newhaven-dieppe-beauvais-paris. Stayed the night in beauvais on the way there are way back, doing it all in one go will be tough! Good luck!
