A cycling trip from London to Paris and back in (freezing!!) February, 2025, to catch a few locations associated with Dickens’ novel, A Tale of Two Cities.
You are doing a plot spoiler to those who have not read the book yet ! ! Props for doing the 405-500km in one go ! Or maybe madness doing it at -7 Celsius in the night ..
Great to see you pop up on my feed again! Have missed you throughout the darker months!
Have you thought about upgrading to a 360º Action cam for the front of the bike? You can also get a remote for the handlebars then you could film at your leisure then edit whichever view you wanted!
Brilliant as always, great way to connect Dickens and London Century Rides. Two of my favourite cities and a classic novel. Been really hard winter in Ontario Canada in the -20 c and loads of snow, won’t be riding on the streets anytime soon, so want to ride outside so thank you for a great video and inspiration and hope.
I love these literary themed rides that you do. I appreciate that they can't all be similarly bookish, but it is a real treat when they are. Nice to see you back!
I've missed your video's LC. I love these author themed rides …. You may feel unfit, but your efforts are extraordinary to those of us that struggle to complete the ultra-long distances. Well, done mate.
A most welcome return of a certain Mr Centuries. Really enjoyed the historical commentary and French countryside views, thanks. Have you ever thought of doing a nice coastal ride, taking in all the piers along the South coast? No shortage of fish and chip stops no doubt…

You should have mentioned that Dickens was born in Portsmouth when you were riding through. Great video as usual.
Glad to see you back

Oh hello! Good to have you back. But… all this high-brow, intellectual, literary gubbins makes my paltry videos even more amateurish! Please desist.
Awesome video – good to see you back.
at 16:35: "I think there's something wrong with their bridge." Made me laugh out loud!
Lovely to see you back.
Nice to have you back and really looking forward to the forthcoming adventures and videos. 👍
