London to Nice day 1

Well it’s been a mad few days and I’m now only able to catch up with this ride. So London to Nice day 1 was mental, the ride itself was fine we got to Dover by about 17:30 but the so called 18:00 was a no go, we were missing some riders so we ended up catching the 20:30 ferry!. This meant that I didn’t get to the Hotel in Dunkirk until after midnight!. Thankfully I wasn’t sea sick o the ferry which I was expecting and managed to get some dinner but after being up since 04:00 that day meant it was a stupid long day and I had to get up at 06:00 the next day! So after about 5 hours sleep it was onto Day 2.
