London to Paris 2010: Last day in Paris

Background

A little over 12 months ago Alex and I contemplated the idea of a cycling challenge that would be enjoyable and fun but less demanding than the 1000 mile Lands End to John O’Groats ride Alex completed the previous summer. Eventually we arrived at an idea to cycle from the London Eye to the Eiffel Tower in 3 days. Since then we have been planning, organizing and recruiting riders and supporters. On the 1st of July our team of 8 cyclists and 2 support drivers begin that challenge.

The team cyclists are Alex, Dominic, Esther, Jamie, Jonathon, Paul, Tom and I and support drivers are Colin and Dan.

We hope to maintain this blog over the coming journey.

Last day in Paris

Well what a ride, we had everything from very hot, very humid to very very wet (being Brits that last bit we where used to :-) ) also the last ride into Parisw some 73 miles was also plagued by the puncture fairy WE HAD 9 in total (2 for me) and Alex amazing exploding tyre OMG (pictures to follow) but the ride in through the Forrest then to finally see the Eiffel Tower was brilliant.... So as we sit here waiting to pick up the bikes before we cycle off to catch the train back home...... Another beer........
