Hesitantly booked my first cycling trip to France in order to watch the start of #TDF2025 in July. Praying it won't rain heavily and all the potential fail points of trains/ferry/cycling on foreign roads won't scupper it

    @etp not quite that impressive. Cycling with a friend between the train stations and ferry port either side of the Channel, then cycling from our hotel base in Belgium to watch a couple of stages near Lille. I would have taken the Eurostar direct from London to Lille but they make it very hard to take bicycles!

    @calumryan So you're going to ride all the way? Very cool.

    @calumryan I’m looking forward to competition on Eurostar, though I may not live long enough to see it.

    I did this in 2022 (Pyrenees & Paris), and it was so great that I did it again the next year (Alps). Enjoy!
