2010-11-05 - London to Paris

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.

I *really *wouldn't count on the ferry being so punctual that you can get a 20:30 train. All it takes is some bad wind and you'll be an hour late, it's quite a long ferry journey.
