I did a 4 day trip over to France last summer to watch the Tour de France.
Ride into London
Train to Dover
Ferry to Calais
Ride around northern France for a few days
Return the same way
It was a great holiday!

@Pionir@mastodon.online @ascentale@sfba.social @Kleen@sfba.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social Yeah - excellent fun. Always good to see a big race. Did you get a special stage or pot luck (there are fewer and fewer of the pan-flat dull-as-ditchwater sprint stages now anyway)? My only mistake was missing last train from Dover to London due to a delayed ferry. So an unscheduled 130km ride in the middle of the night with 4 weeks luggage strapped to my bike. I was lucky that a fellow cyclotourist I met on ferry gave me his spare food to fuel me
