Whacky ideas for a London to Paris ride

[andythomas]

Hi

I run the James Whale Fund Arch to Arc London to Paris Cycle ride archtoarc dot com and for next year we're looking for whacky ideas to get there to make it different

Any suggestions?

 

[andythomas]

We had thought of doing it on Borris bikes? Or maybe the wen Avenue Vert when it open's up

what about tandems only?

or everyone dressed exactly the same (like famous person or something?)

a few of my mates are looking at Calais to Dieppe and then on to PAris down the Avenue Vert..feeling lazy this morning, do you know how much of it is open?

Quite like the idea of tandems but have never ridden one before

I can see 50 riders all dressed as Abraham Lincoln! I dont know why but that sprung to mind ... all on penny farthings as well

I think a fair bit of the avenue vert is open but just not publicised as yet, os you'd have to grope your way around. The bit around Crawley sounds dreadful
