Four days in September.
Fully supported.
Overnight accommodation.
It was suggested, London - Portsmouth. St Malo - Paris. Paris - Calais. And Dover - London.
But I think someone has got their sums wrong on the St Malo to Paris leg 😳
Initially I thought London - Dover/Calais - Paris and back. But folk don't want to repeat stuff.
I was looking at 160 miles maximum for any one day.
do p'mouth - le harve not st malo and you *might* be alright

Straight out of Marble Arch to Paris and back on the same route.
Not bad for my club that's not a year old yet.
Anyone fancy it if there are any last minute places.
I arranged a route for a Cherbourg to Paris ride in 2010. Almost all quiet back roads - took some navigation, but as I broke my collarbone just before, I was stuck in the van as navigator too which worked really well. We'd drive ahead a bit and point out turns to the lead riders then scoot off again.
The route planning was simple - I used Via Michelin and chose the cycle option, checked most of the roads with google streetview and made a few tweaks if I didnt like the look of a particular section.
There's some lovely lanes through the cornfields of Normandy, and some pretty big hills too! I even managed to plot a route to the Arc de Triumph mostly through parks to avoid traffic.
I think I've still got the details, can forward these if of use.

Thank you, but we have a events company sorting all the logistics i.e support vehicles, accommodation, food, ferries and legal nonsense.
In return we are now going to task all entrants with raising £500 for a chosen charity.
I believe Torq are on board.
