EG to Paris and back to watch final stage

[Marek]

I have a hair brained idea to do the following on the 26, 27 and 28 July:

Sat 26th: Ride to Newhaven and get the Ferry to Dieppe.
Ride 3/4 of the 180km to Paris. Stay the night in a B&B.

Sunday 27th: Ride remaining distance into Paris.
Watch the finish of the Tour de France (Cav winning the final sprint)
Ride 3/4 of the way back to Dieppe. Stay night in another B&B

Monday 28th: Ride to Dieppe and get ferry.
Ride from Newhaven back home.

Does anybody want to come with me, don't really fancy doing this on my own, firstly as my sense of direction is not great and secondly always good to have a few riders to draft off. Let me know if you fancy it and we can have an offline chat about sorting out the places to stay etc as I can have a good look at a map and find suitable locations. Other option on way back is we just ask Cav to give us a lift in his team bus.

Cheers

More going for the experience rather than anything else, the ride should be fun which is the main reason. I may even do it on my own if no other takers as I kind of like the idea of getting to Paris and back under my own steam. (ferry excluded of course).

I may be up for this but will have to check with work and the weather forecast.

might have to drive to newhaven if the ferry is early.

Ok, I am fine with driving to Newhaven, let me know asap as I will find somewhere to stay. Was thinking we could probably stay in the same place both nights as that would work out quite well in terms of distance etc.

Cheers

Wish I could make it with you Marek, but 26th is Mark's birthday, and all would not be rosy in the Tunnell household, but I am thinking about a Paris ride later on - although not to watch Le Tour. Taking SpeedFerries to Boulogne etc.
