Well the pads fold into a little box shaped thing about the size of the trailer (a bob yak) so we're lucky on that front. We've weighed the whole thing packed and I've had a cycle with it today (around Finsbury Park a few times and it's surprisingly mobile but I know that after 100k's I'll be feeling it...)
2 days though does seem a bit ambitious perhaps. Though having said that - All three of us are in good shape. I'm probably the least fit of the bunch, (one's a triathlete, the other swam the channel this summer!) We're hoping to get to around Boulogne-sur-mer by the end of the first day though if we can get further we will. I know that coast fairly well and the roads (though I've not cycled them) are flat and quiet from memory. Then the remaining part of the ride is where I get a bit lost. I'm not really sure about what to expect in the country west of Paris - hills? Main roads etc?
