Yes, with AMR.

We arrive in Paris in time to see the tour come through the next day!

Fantastic! Think a few groups are doing L2P to arrive on Saturday/Sunday; are you seeing lots on the road?

We saw quite a few different groups on the way to Dover, a couple of groups yesterday and one other group today. I expect there will be loads when we hit Paris tomorrow!

Just a quick update to say I finished the London to Paris event for Action Medical Research (expertly) organised by Discover Adventure.

Thanks to all of you who provided advice on what equipment to buy and training plans etc.

An excellent trip with a very emotional and rewarding last stint into Paris, past the Arc d'Triomphe to finish by the Eiffel Tower.

Looking forward to swing Le Tour come into Paris tomorrow.

If anyone is considering this for next year, them I can't recommend it highly enough!

Sidicks it was me who spotted you in the PH jersey. Sorry I didn't chat with you more but I couldn't remember what you looked like after day 1 without the jersey!

Glad you had a great time, I thought it was an excellent experience as well.

See you on the next one maybe!

This was my first time doing anything like this and I can't recommend it highly enough - obviously best if you have a mate or two to ride with, although plenty of opportunity to meet and ride with new people.
