Off To Paris

Just enjoying a bit of avo on toast with a perfectly cooked poached egg before Chris and I head off to meet our fellow cyclists. London to Paris starts in just over an hour – and we’re all set. I think. More pics to follow …

Fantastic few days with a great bunch of folk from Challenge Central. Thanks for organising the trip to Paris. We all made it and we’re all left feeling just a tiny bit smug.

For the last two mornings we’ve left in the dark, just a string of bike lights heading off in to the dark. The joy of that is cycling along as the sun rises …

…over northern France. And what a beautiful bit of the world this is.

Today we left Beauvais and had brekkie in Pontoise – 30 miles down the road. Then it was a memorable ride in to Paris – great when the Eiffel Tower came in to view. We were then treated to glimpses of the Arc de Triophme…

before being rewarded with this view at Trocadero …
