Ride25 Tour No.1 Leeds-Paris
What better way to kick off your Ride25 adventure than by starting off in ‘God’s Own County’ at the steps of Leeds Town Hall and finishing at the foot of the Eiffel Tower in Paris? This leg is split over five days’ cycling and covers 420 miles, with an average of 84 miles per day. As with all Ride25 tours, you will be fully supported along the way and everything will be taken care of so all you need to do is soak up the sights and enjoy the ride.
• Five nights’ accommodation in a clean, comfortable hotel (in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Marlow, Brighton, Gournay-en-Bray and Paris). All rooms will have twin beds and we will allocate you a room partner unless you specify who you would like to share with. (You may select a single supplement in the booking process if you prefer not to share a room)
• Ferry trip from Newhaven to Dieppe
• Three meals a day plus stops for snacks
• Support vehicle to transport your luggage (clothes and supplies) from each stage to the next
• Back-up vehicles to provide you with medical help and any assistance should you need a rest
• Customised, waterproof route maps including essential directions, pitstops and interesting information on the area.
• New, bespoke high quality breathable cycling shirts for every day of your trip. These will be fully personalised for you and adorned with badges showing the number of Ride25 legs you have completed so far.

I love how wannabe racer reviewers talk about fork flex under braking like their tyres are made of glue. I find traction gives long before fork flex.
