I recently did a solo London Paris.
Nobody I know likes cycling more that maybe a few miles and even then only if its billiard table flat.
Have been looking at options for doing something similar with others. Only options appear to be
A) A cycle holiday
B) place a advert for somebody to join me.
C) Charity ride
Just been looking at the cost of cycle holidays and no offence to anyone that offers them but doing a London Paris via a holiday company comes it at around £800. Never sure who your going to get when you advertise. Charity rides requires you to bother people asking for money who ask things like "Why should I pay for your next holiday?" fair point really!
How do others do it?

He travels the fastest who travels alone.
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

A club? The CTC?
A few people in Paris recently organised an event for cycle tourists by contacting everyone on WarmShowers - we all met up in a bar for drinks one evening and about 40 people turned up. This could probably be done in any city in the UK fairly successfully.
