I would be up for that. Being french i have done the ride many times and always tried variations on the route. I would also not favor having to enter and exit paris at midday, not a great experience imo. Otherwise what you might consider is heading to versailles. Better sights, better roads, better elevation and a castle
Yeah i did think about keeping it UK based just something about pedaling to a whole different country that's appealing to me. Far less chance for me to sack it half way too if i know ive got to wait til the next day to get a ferry back too!
And pretty much as soon as my arse stopped hurting after doing it last year i wanted to go back on a road bike and give it a go.
Was trying to plan it with 2 mates but one is a nightmare for tying down to dates and im not sure the other would fancy the idea of there and back (he told me MANY MANY times when cycling back from St Pancras "never again")
Considering just booking a ferry on the bank holiday weekend and going for it solo
