I am a relatively fit 68 year old but suffer joint (knee) problems that sometimes go with the age. Last year I cycled Holland as far as the German border, and another time from Dunkirke to Brussels ... both relatively level rides.
My question is will I find the Le Havre to Paris route covers similar terrain to that cycled in Holland and Belgium or is it going to be much hillier?
My bike is an Orange Evo4 (as shown in my profile picture) fitted with rear pannier bags and for this ride I will be using 'slick' tyres.
Having stayed and cycled Paris for a few days I plan to return to the ferry port by train and understand bikes cannot be carried on Eurostar without being boxed. Is anyone aware of other trains that will accept an unboxed bike?
I would be grateful for answers to the above, and ANY information regarding this planned trip, cycling friendly accommodation for example, and contact can be made at [email protected]
If I can assist any Cycling Forum member with information of rides in my home area (Mid Wales) I would be very pleased to help.
Many thanks.
Ken
