London to Paris 24

My friend is organising this:

http://www.london2paris24.com/

If anyone is interested.

I may have to take take part, sigh.

A little bit early to start promoting I would have thought?

Just my two pence, sounds cool.

Want a partner James? :P

I'm up for it if you are George!

Think its possible on a fixed?

Time to train I suppose.

This sounds like it could be pretty awesome though.

Think its possible on a fixed?

Hell yeah.

I'm in with my cousin if we're not in the homeland.

I'm in with George if he's up for it :)

I'm down! Gears though!!!! You thinking fixed?

I'm also a little worried about the £900 per person sponsorship. I've never been too good at making people dig deep!

Fixed is all I've got!

Fixed of course, sorry George when did this become the London Fixed-gear, Single-speed, AND GEARED forum huh!?

;)

But seriously i'm doing it fixed man.....

London Fixed, Geared and Single Speed?

London Fixed, Geared and Single Speed?

Boom!
Might consider fixed but will have to make a bit more comfortable ride than anything I own atm!

London Fixed, Geared and Single Speed?

ha! awesome. I vote on a name change.

this lokks awesome...mad keen,

Looking at the schedule I reckon its pretty do-able fixed

its 18 over only! and £1800 is a bit dear...
i think they should make a category for under 18s who only need to get 1% of that :) ..

Anyone up for it? I'm really really keen and should be able to get discount Eurostar tickets for the way back.

I need advice and friends who are up for a massive push and a massive adventure, im open to suggestions of dates in the next 4 weeks or so.

Come on!

Providing you're not a weirdo and you're not planning on killing anyone in their sleep then yes, I'd be interested.

Questions:
Fixed or geared?
Bivi bag on the side of the road or hostel/hotel?
Are you planning on staying in Paris for a night or two?
How much will Eurostar cost on the way back?
Could you be tempted to ride back? Say going via Newhaven/Dieppe on the way and via Calais/Dover on the way back?

Like this?

That's a really useful map, thanks hippu.

wools... im going geared, im thinking of doing it in one push so sleeping on the ferry and getting there in as close to 24 hours as possible. Don't have much spare time! Spend the night and day in paris and then come back Sunday evening

I think newhaven/dieppe seems the way forward

If it's good enough for Donald then it's good enough for the rest of us! When were you thinking then? You doing this over a weekend or during the week? I've got a lot of holiday to use up before the 31st Dec so am up for doing it during the week.

That's a really useful map, thanks hippu.

hippu.

Does anyone know the actual riding distance i.e excluding the ferry?

Wanted to see if it were feasible to do it solo in a day.
