Dieppe
FANCY getting on your bike for a ride around France? Well, Caroline and Glen Street will be organising the annual Dieppe Raid for cyclists over the weekend of June 12th - 14th this year. Travel needs to be booked by early April so make your decision soon to avoid disappointment.
So what's it all about? The format consists of taking the early morning ferry from Newhaven to Dieppe on Saturday, June 12th in time to arrive for the local market. Cars are left at Newhaven. There is a reception in the Dieppe Town Hall at about 5pm on Saturday afternoon, so apart from that you are free to explore the many bars and restaurants in this lovely coastal town.
There are numerous rides organised by the Dieppe Cycling Club on Sunday, ranging in distance from 20km all the way up to 200km. Then there is a prize-giving in the late afternoon. We take the Monday teatime ferry back to Newhaven. Over 200 cyclists usually attend this popular event, and there are even guided walks organised for non-cyclists.
