First Long Distance Ride - London - Paris

I am taking my first long distance pilgrimage in the not too distant future from London to Paris via Dieppe on the Hirsch route.

Three of us are riding FG having ridden around London for maybe 2 years with our longest ride being 28 miles.

Given I don't really know the landscape.. is it plausible to get to the ferry in a day and do the Dieppe to Paris route in 2 days alone for very inexperienced cyclists?

None of us are overly fit or any more active than commuting through London daily.

get some practice doing longer distances, as it will make this much more pleasureable

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
