London to Paris Cycle Traveller Reviews

For me the ride and experience was absolutely brilliant! Wasn’t totally sure how I’d get on, whether I’d prepared enough but in the end it worked out fine. I could have done some more hill-work, and as I have only been cycling for a bit over a year. But even the seasoned riders found it a challenge, and it is meant to be. If it was easy, it would be boring and we’d have nothing to talk about or feel a sense of achievement over. On my part the accommodation was superb. lso, glad that the accommodation was of a more superior quality: I dare say you could cut cost by booking cheaper accommodation but after a long day’s ride you want to have better accommodation and not be complaining about poor showers or less comfortable beds. Organisationally - no complaints from me. Oganisationally for me things worked well. The team were superb. Helpful and always with a smile - even laughed at our jokes and responded positively throughout. Obviously, we all look back positively as we were blessed with the weather – four days riding, no rain, temperatures just about right – nice lot of cloud cover for much of the ride and some sunshine  We could not have asked for it to be any better. Would views be different with two or so days of rain? Food – must compliment Extreme catering on the food. Excellent! What I liked was the salad type foods, not boring lettuce and tomatoes, but nutritious spinach leaves and the like. Also inventive – black pudding with a honey mustard dressing. Really was very good. One very, very minor thing – someone suggested whether a commemorative medal might not go amiss. We do have the t-shirts, which I was not expecting. But this is exceptionally minor! But for me 9 out of 10 – just cos if give you 10, you might get complacent. I will definitely be looking to do something similar again. If I do keep the cycling going I might do London/Paris and Paris/Geneva next year. But will certainly look to repeat. Thanks for the experience.

Discover Adventure were excellent. Questions were answered and the trip information was well thought through.
