I think if I could ride up to the station, get on the train with the bike fully assembled, ride across Paris, get on the sleeper train, wake up in Barcelona and ride off into the distance, I'd do it - even if it was £100+ more expensive. But given I can't, flying does look the better option.
Yep, it was a banging option. Loved telling people I could just ride from home to Paris and back in a day if I wanted. I paid extra to avoid flying, but they broke the system.
