    Long weekend challenge
    Normandy countryside

This long-weekend challenge links two great European cities, London and Paris, and covers around 300km in just three days. We cycle through undulating countryside towards the south coast, before crossing into France by ferry.

ITINERARY

DAY 1: Early morning meet in London to start the challenge. Cycle out of London leaving the traffic behind us. We're soon in the countryside and have some undulating terrain to tackle before reaching our lunch stop in Turners Hill. This afternoon we encounter a steep climb with stunning views of the South Downs. Ferry Newhaven - Dieppe. Overnight in Dieppe. 98km

DAY 2: We're quickly in the Normandy countryside today, cycling through typically French villages with traditional Saturday markets and pretty central squares. The terrain today is gently undulating. Overnight in Gournay en Bray. 80km

DAY 3: Cycle through the rural landscape of Normandy before reaching the suburbs of Paris. After lunch we enter a forested area, Le Parc aux Etoiles, before a descent to the River Seine. We group together and cycle along the wide Parisian boulevards to the finish line at the Eiffel Tower. Overnight in Paris. 114km

DAY 4: Free time in the morning to enjoy Paris before taking the Eurostar back to St Pancras.
