Riding to Paris

girlfriend and me are riding to paris next weekend ~ for nuit blanche, any recommendations for best routes into paris from the north west (route d915)?
btw gutted i missed night ride (sept 29/30).

d

ask aidan, he did it once on his claud.

i love your name!!! dr oblong...that is funny,if i wasnt called aidan then it would be that...
although i did ride to paris i wasnt really the map master..;.il get back to you on this one.

I've done the following a couple of times and liked it:

Ride from London to Portsmouth (65 miles form S.London)
Get on night ferry to le Havre and have a good night sleep!
Cycle approximately along Seine Valley up to Paris....highlights: Rouen town centre, Les Andelys (nice descent) and you go right past Monet's House and garden
(bridge over lilies) at Giverny.

You're either cycling on a plateau or in the valley so apart from the couple of times you switch from one to the other, it's pretty flat....about 150 miles in France as I can remember, but might be wrong....

we went from dieppe (new haven ferry) - first 30 miles out of dieppe is a green route which is an old railroad track paved over, completely flat and more or less straight... after that you get onto the roads, but there's no really steep hills at any point during the route - was about 100 miles total if i remember correctly... follow the d915

Sorry, thought you said "Money" :P

No, I'm a fan of riding out of London.
