2017: London to Paris: three days; one Channel crossing; one wicker basket and dog;  one dodgy bit of route through a forest in France that was fine for me but raised some complaints from others; a staggered and triumphal arrival at Notre Dame.  How to top it?

2018: London to Amsterdam.  Similar formula.  Wicker basket.  Dog prepared.  Quite a long first day (London to Harwich).  One dodgy knee. Very pleasant training ride this weekend with Pete Jenkins: see below photo taken by a dog walker…this was attempt five and the best we could get.  I think it shows my good side.  And the windmill.  Sorry Pete. 

What could possibly go wrong?  And it's all for a good cause: the London Air Ambulance.  We didn't need them last year and I am jolly hopeful we won't need them this year.  But we are keen to support them as others will need them.  So all donations are gratefully accepted: the link below is the easiest way to do it.  Thanks for your support and taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
