A proper four-day challenge across the UK and France.
Newhaven ↔ Dieppe with cabins included subject to availability.
Structure and support for riders who want it.
An unforgettable Paris arrival before turning for home.
We roll out of London late morning, heading south towards the coast. The route is rolling and honest from the off — a proper introduction to what’s ahead.
Riders will arrive in time to catch the 5pm ferry to Dieppe. Cabins are provided, giving everyone the chance to rest, shower and reset ahead of the days to come.
On arrival in France, we’ll spin the legs with a short ride to our hotel in Dieppe for the night.
The big one.
We follow large sections of the iconic Avenue Verte, linking quiet roads, cycle paths and classic French countryside as we make our way towards the capital.
It’s a long day in the saddle, but a rewarding one — with well-timed stops along the way at some of France’s finest bakeries to refuel properly.
We roll into Paris for an unforgettable finish, and the all-important photo at the Eiffel Tower.
A later start gives riders time to recover after a big day.
We take a different route back, cutting through the French countryside to keep things fresh and varied. Expect long, open roads, a steady rhythm, and more well-earned bakery stops along the way.
In Dieppe, we’ll grab food before boarding the overnight ferry back to the UK.
Cabins will be provided where available; otherwise, riders can rest in the lounge areas onboard.
We dock back in the UK early morning (approx. 5am), and roll out for the final stretch back to London.
The legs will feel it by now — but the job’s not done. One last push, back through familiar roads, finishing where we started.
Routes to and from Paris will differ to keep the experience varied and engaging
Riders should be comfortable with back-to-back long-distance days
Naturally, groups will form on the road based on pace
This is a demanding ride — but a very achievable one for the right rider.
Across four days, you’ll cover approximately 350–400 miles, with two back-to-back days of 100+ miles. The terrain is mostly rolling rather than mountainous, but the distance, consistency, and time in the saddle are what make this a challenge.
You should be comfortable riding 100 miles in a day, and more importantly, doing it again the following day.
Pace on the road will vary. Some riders will take it steady, making the most of café stops along the way, while others will push on and ride at a higher tempo. Naturally, groups will form based on pace, and you’ll find your rhythm within that.
A ride leader will be available throughout for those who want structure and support, but this is not a fully guided ride — riders are expected to be self-sufficient, manage their own pacing, and be comfortable riding independently when needed.
For those looking to take things further, there is the option to complete the Paris → London leg within 24 hours — a proper test for experienced riders.
If you’re consistent with your riding, comfortable with long days in the saddle, and ready for a challenge, you’ll be more than capable of taking this on.
To secure your place, a deposit will be required.
