Hi everyone,

Please pm for details if you up.
Set off Saturday or Sunday ~6am from Blackheath/Greenwich.

Currently I'm the only rider.
Looking for someone who don't mind to join me for daily trip and wake up 6am:))

I hate to say it, but you might find that Nice is a bit of a hike for a day-trip from Greenwich - especially if you want to do it on twisties... Shocked

Your Gluteus Maximus will feel pretty old if you try to make Nice in a day from Greenwich Smile

Nice as in pleasant rather than Nice Côte d'Azur.

Though Dodger/Falco managed it in half a day, he left his iron on or something. Very Happy

Seems I posted msg in a wrong place.

Here is plan:

Greenwich - > Folkestone (< 100mi) : ~ 3h with all the stops and nice routes.
Folkestone - Calais : 1.5h (euro shuttle) + 1.5h to come back
France: nice routes incl lunch, nice coastal routes + return to Calais: 60mi, ~3h

Folkestone -> Greenwich : whatever way, either with me ~2h or using motorway 1h

This is not sprint. Route well planned, common sense applied.

Thanks!

I use to go down by coastal routes up to Boulogne sur Mer.

But I haven't been any further Wink This is good opportunity.

Thanks

Nice - adjective, giving pleasure or satisfaction; pleasant or attractive.
