The Dieppe Raid 2017

The Dieppe Raid (tour of the 3 valleys)

I joined the Wayfarers around 7 years ago and was introduced to the Dieppe raid, it was then that Pete Mitchell led the group on the actual 100k route and we had around 25 in the group. What a fantastic event and the French, cyclist club Dieppe, so welcoming.  The Wayfarers were awarded the tropthy for the most cyclists from one club.

Since then I have been back every year. Cycling France is such a contrast from the UK. Yes there are hills but also wonderful little villages with lovely little cafes to savour a coffee. Cycling in France seems, to me anyway, to be more accepted as the norm and No potholes! If you have not yet savored the delights of the event then please do give it a go, you won’t be disapointed!
