Action Medical Research - London to Paris Bike Ride 2005
Day 4 - Beauvais to Paris - Saturday 23rd July

Day 4 Route Beauvais to Paris - By my trip computer the distance was 63.6 miles (102.3km), 4h41'18" ride time, average speed of 14mph (22.6km/h), max speed of 36mph (58km/h).

A nice fast undulating group ride with one serious hill within 10 miles or so of the start.  At lunch our average speed had been 16.6mph, but dropped in the afternoon as we leisurely rode as a group of 60 riders into Paris.  We were met at the Eiffel Tower by friends, family and welcoming party, then all moved across to the Hotel Ibis where we stayed and had a celebratory buffet and award ceremony.
