Adventure Bike Rider Forum

I like Ile de Re . When we have struggled to get reasonably priced accommodation on the island we have stayed across the bridge in La Rochelle which only adds on about 20minutes in the mornings plus there is a big underground car park there which is good for bike security.

On the plus side fuel is dropping ..got diesel at 1.55 euro a ltr today at a total garage near Mortain.in north...

The best roads in france are d roads followed by c roads ...always adventure to be had and things till discover...no speed cameras either...

Viv la france...

You over there in your motorhome Russ ?

Yes Mate, with my e bike....opens up a whole new world for me on chemin compared to the heavy xt660z which is just for touring a pyrenees gravel stuff...

Well, for those who may be interested, a brief update....
We've worked our way through The Ardeche and Haute Provence into Italy, along a bit of the Med coast and up to Lake Como where we stay with friends who by luck have a place here
Mostly still using lovely, traffic-free secondary roads. Highlights?.... I guess the Verdon Gorges and Route Napoleon, in fact I yearned for a solo bike at times!
Lowlights? Getting across Milan on their incredibly busy ring road system - stay clear of this!
Still not used the tent - campsite shacks are very appealing with their own shower and bog!

Sounds like a good trip. Keep the updates coming...
