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 5: Anet to Chatelldun 116km in 5:32hrs


Lovely tandem terrain.  Smooth roads and minor ups, so best average speed to date.  Bought nice savouries for lunch, but my bike fell over when I was in the shop and broke the mirror..  France still seems shut but we managed a coffee in the afternoon.

My birthday!  BA bought me a card, then there was beer and cake at the campsite.

Cycled through town to Decathalon and bought a new mirror for 5 euros, but the bill came to 100 - as it does in Decathalon everytime we go.  As you might expect from the name, there is a large chateau overlooking the river.  Dinner at the restaurant next to the chain hotel (nice and clean and it all works).
