We'll be driving down to Dover at the crack of dawn to sail the Channel. We'll ride for 40 to 60 miles through the glorious French countryside, with a leisurely cafe stop for lunch.

Trip Details:
Route details will be provided in a rider briefing pack and as downloadable GPS files, along with details of cafe options for lunch.
A backup car will travel to France to provide mechanical support and to carry a small kit bag each. (The cost of the backup car is included in your £10)
We will share cars for the drive to Dover, so please indicate with your booking if you can drive or if you need a lift
Some transport will be available for bikes, but if you have a bike rack, please indicate that too.
In addition to the ferry cost there will be a share of fuel costs and parking in Dover (approx £15 based on 4 sharing a car).
