All Good Things !

What greater way to celebrate all things French than by cycling the length of this beautiful country with 5 good friends. Our 2 part cycle sees us making our way first through Normandy and Brittany down the Atlantic Coast to La Rochelle where we bid adieu to Viv and Linton. Rick,Noel, Kev and self then head cross country through a strunning landscape comprising the Dordogne and the Cevennes, Luberon and Verdon national parks before descending to the finish on the promenade at Nice. What an amazing journey and what fantastic company !
