Yes, I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing. We’ll be cycling Dieppe to Paris next month, but soft as we are, there’ll be no camping! All small hotels and chambre d’hote. We will also be following your good advice in making each of our days in to easily achievable distances. I am looking forward to the rest of your trip reports.

That sounds amazing! I hope you have a great trip :) Haha, I don't blame you with avoiding camping. It means your bike is a lot lighter from carrying less gear and you can't beat a comfortable bed after a day of cycling!

Great video and music. You’ve wisely learned at a young age that chasing a set mileage each day should only be used as an approximate marker, and adjusting to suit the day is how to do it. It’s all about the journey, the destination is just a byproduct! Cheers 👍

Love your attitude. Last September 4 of us cycled from Dieppe to Paris and back using the L’Avenue Verte. W3 stayed in Versaille for 2 nights and cycled into Paris. We found Paris to be VERY cycle-friendly. We were fortunate enough to be able to stay in hotels along the way. Best wishes……….Duncan McLean.

I've heard of people scheduling in non riding days and then taking them as the oportunity arises (of which headwinds can be one) e.g one/two days in seven. Really important to have flexibility and to follow up the interesting stuff en route. Thank you and enjoy. PS Eurovelo routes can be useful.
@Geocycling1993 Жыл бұрын
Thank you for your comment! I agree about having the flexibility. It allowed me to stop and see some really cool locations and as you said, I could alter my plans due to unplannable circumstances. I definitely appreciated it when the temperatures were at 40 degrees Celsius haha! I will look into the Eurovelo routes :) Thank you!

How much footage did you record each day ? as I'm considering filming my cycling trip. Thanks , just watched your series again by the way.
@Geocycling1993 Жыл бұрын
I at least took about 10 different 20 second clips of the day, but sometimes a lot more depending on where I was. My advice is to not take too much footage, as it can be a nightmare when you have to edit the video. (Speaking from experience haha) I'm happy you came back :D thank you again for watching the series and I'm happy you have enjoyed it :)

@Geocycling1993 Жыл бұрын
Thank you! No need to apologise for asking questions. The bike is a Trek 520. Personally I really liked it during this trip, which was the first time I used it on an extended bike tour. Its very comfortable, reliable and sturdy. The only issue was some loose bar tape, which is not bad. I'll do a separate video about the bike soon :) The trip was also a lot of fun, as France is such a pretty country. I travelled during August! So a bit toasty haha. Thank you for commenting and watching the video :)

I think with your music, you should listen to Debussy, Ravel and Satie and perhaps Vivaldi? Because that would be better with most of the landscapes, etc. Influenced by, not copying. Just my opinion.

Mate I’d love to do a cycle tour round France as I’ve been motorhoming it. It’s just so beautiful and geared up for exploring. My only concern would be loneliness. How did you get with this?
@Geocycling1993 Жыл бұрын
France is amazing for cycling, and I would recommend it to anyone :) Personally, I'm quite introverted and enjoy the solitude at times. However, I never felt short of opportunities to socialise as on a bike you're out in the open and can just stop and talk to people. Also, people will often approach you out of curiosity in camp sites and out in public just because you're cycling. If it's a big concern, then it might be good to try it for a few days. That way, it might not feel so daunting, and you'll hopefully realise it won't be as bad as you think :)

That's understandable, France has many Municipal campsites which can be pretty reasonable. Beyond that, the French are relatively relaxed about wild camping compared to its neighbours. You can also use warm showers, but I have found this to be time consuming and can be unreliable!
