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 13: Chaudes Aigues to Ste Chely du Tarn 99km in 5:53hrs


Bumping along Cherry suddenly said that the back wheel felt ‘funny’. It had gone soft. I pumped it up, but it went down within a few 100 metres. So swinging into ‘change tyre action’ again we took off the tube and replaced it – it was got a pinch rubbed hole due to being twisted when we put it in the day before. So all my fault. Noone came by whilst we spent 30 mins making the change, but the cows came up and were amused by our antics.

Very steep descent into Gorges du Tarn, then along to our hotel perched on the side of the Gorge.  A gorgeous setting.
