Paris to Bristol - This is the last day of the trip! In some ways it was quite emotional realising that today was the final day. It all started with a ride through Paris to see a couple of the main sites and then off to the Tunnel for the trip back to the UK. The weather started well but did not stay that way, not at all! About 50km from Calais the rain started to fall. It rained pretty solidly for the remainder of the ride. I ended up soaked to the skin, cold and ready for a hot shower!
The whole ride was incredible, both the ride down and the way back. I had loads of time to reflect, plan, scrap those plans, make new ones, think again, you get it. A friend of mine said that the whole trip reminded him of a monastic experience, and in all honesty it really was. Loads of time alone, most of the time with no music, no podcasts etc. It was time alone with myself, in my head, in my helmet.
I have a whole list of video's I'd like to put together, which I have started to plan and organise. This channel is being very much formed by you the subscribers that have got involved and contributed so much - I can't stress how much that has meant the last few months, it's been great fun.
There's more in '24!
