Re: Travel this year
I personally have a few trips planned this summer, one was to the Picos region of Spain and the Other Ukraine with a loop back via Eastern Europe. The only thing I am concerned about is if travel insurance becomes voided, basically a guy I work with has started to do a fair few cruises each year, he...

Re: Cameras in France
On our trip up to Paris to watch the rugby, my son was using waze, and I had trusty old tomtom on, and together we didn't miss any fixed cameras, or the two camera cars, and a hand held device. Mind you still early days, and I cringe every time we get a mail delivery :lol: This is the type of situa...

Re: Cameras in France
Personally I am getting cheesed off with the way motorist are being used as a cash cow and at what point will the oppression start to effect tourist numbers with people avoiding the region?. It is becoming more a game of luck over judgement regarding if you get a Penalty notice in the post. I am pla...

Re: French Tracks
In the mid-late 2000s the magazine publication https://www.tourenfahrer.de/ did a compilation with Touratech and they produced a number of GPX based tours, one of these tours was the Western Alps Enduro (Or words to that affect) it showed about 6 or 7 long distance trail routes in and around the Wes...

Re: Mallorca on a small bike
I know I have stated before but I used Mallorca for years as a winter cycling get away and was seriously looking at getting a place there. If you plan well in advance you can get return flights cheaper than a round of drinks, I have also had some stupidly good deals on hotels using Booking.com, A li...

Took the Innova out for a spin today. It’s just got regular road tyres on so I wanted to see how well it would do ‘off-road’. I did a 20 mile motorway blast, some lovely small roads and then most of the Fosseway. The tyres struggled on the muddy stuff but the bikes lightweight kept it going. Lookin...
