  If you haven't already, try the retrobike forum for a syncros stem. Quite often see them come up over there!

  Thanks for all the stories of your experiences everyone! Really appreciate you sharing your experiences.

  Maybe Calais to Dieppe is back on the menu then...

  I'm hoping to meet up with my mate to start making some plans this weekend

  Ferry to St Malo looked good until you have to book cabins etc bringing the price to almost £300 for a return trip! The ferry to Calais and back is £60 haha. Are Brittany Ferries the only service arriving in St Malo? We're hoping for something a bit more budget, it'll likely be a bit of a rough and ready trip

  Apologies I think I wasnt very clear, I meant a ferry to Calais and then cycle to Dieppe to get the ferry back to the UK.

  Okay, thank you I'll look into these ideas!

  Hi all,

  Me and a mate are looking at planning a cycle trip through France in spring next year and wondered if anyone had any recommendations? We're looking at getting a ferry from the UK direct to France to then do a round trip. Where's best to get the ferry into? We looked at doing a round trip and getting the same ferry back or possibly arriving in one place and getting the ferry back from elsewhere. I had looked at Calais to Dieppe, but saw someone suggest it's about as exciting as cycling from Slough to Peterborough!

  We want a fairly leisurely trip, something scenic and rural with places to swim along the way (coastal, lakes, rivers etc), we'd be camping mostly so good options for that too ideally! Likely doing about 5 days of cycling using the weekends either side of a week to travel back.

  What are your experiences and suggestions, I'd love to be able to discuss with people that have done it!

  Probably a fair point actually, you don't ride in the ends of the bars!
