2010-11-05 - London to Paris

I looked at the trains this morning and they are now £40 more expensive so looks like the seats are selling fast! please let us know what you find out about booking your bike on it too. im pretty sure its £20

Option 1: Eurostar- getting more expensive by the hour
Option 2: Cycle/train back to Dieppe leaving 9/10am on Sunday morning, ferry at 17:00 arrives into Newhaven 20:00. There's a train at 20:30 from Newhaven Harbour which is very close to where we disembark the ferry. Single tickets are currently £13.90 for that train ticket. It arrives to London Victoria at 22:34
Return ferry with bike costs £35

I'm leaning towards Option 2 now, I think it would be more fun, its got the epic ride/adventure feel to it we're all looking for. Plus we could get the beers in
Option 2 sounds good for me too. So long as we keep a steady pace and don't push too hard on the way out (and eat plenty), then riding back up to Dieppe on the Sunday shouldn't be a problem, especially if we give ourselves plenty of time.

When I did the ride with Kristian in the summer we averaged about 16mph over about 265 miles. It would be nice to say we were cruising along at 22mph, but the flat sections were very few and very far between so don't be put off by the speed.
