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 8: Issoudun to Montmarault 114km in 7:31hrs



Longest mileage so far, and seemed tough in the afternoon. Lovely weather and views. Coffee at the village "in the centre of France". Generally up and down with more up than down.

Dinner in the Hotel De France (not where we are staying) - fabulous gourmand 7 course mail.

    I'm not jealous. No, not a bit. Sounds a misery from first to last, and only going to get worse as the temperatures climb a bit, the views elongate, the lavender appears and the roofs pantile. Oh, and the olive oil proliferates. Thank goodness I broke my leg, or I might be having that misery too. Phew
