What this is all about

We 'enjoyed' last years ride from Lands End to John o'Groats so much that we signed up for another tandem ride across Corsica in September with Bike Adventures who plan, organise and support these trips. All repeat customers of Bike Adventures said that the ride across France was their best holiday. So here we are and from 15 to 29th May 2010 will be cycling from Calais to the Med, going the 'left' of Paris (if you face upwards). The links tab above shows the planned route. We hope to add daily blogs and uploads when we can get wifi in the french hotels.


Day 10: Rest day at Pontigibaud

Slightly later breakfast. Cherry said she wasn’t going to go on the option to walk up the Puy De Dome, so I bought a map and we went for a walk up the hill, through lava rill woods via a resistance camp de maquis, then down over untilled fields back to town for a lunch at the other hotel.

Cherry then got a second wind and joined the post lunch trip up the mountain, but I had too much pre-lunch beer to cope, so I rested in the hotel and slept for 2 hours.

Cherry had a good walk, then went to the campsite expecting to find me playing boule. We had a meal in the same hotel we had lunch, and unfortunately the same menu, so we ODed on too much chessey potatoes.
