Hi Everyone,

In May I plan to cycle from London to Paris with three friends to raise money for Everyman which is a prostate cancer charity.

WE would like to do it over four or five days. Our plan roughly is to leave Thursday morning from London cycle to Whitstable where we can use a friends cottage for free, then to Dover to take the Ferry Friday night and from Calais to Paris on Saturday and Sunday.

Does this sound viable? Could anyone help plan my route in more detail? We don't want to rush and have given ourselves Monday off work as well incase it takes longer.

Can anyone recommend somewhere nice to stay en route in France for Saturday night? Preferably a slightly busier town?

Thank you so much in advance, any help would be appreciated!!!

You could do this ride in the time you have allocated but as previous post says what level are you.
Also plenty of places to stop in France use web and CTC web pages for more help and information.
As for a busy town why? you will probably just be glad of rest.
