I have been persuaded (at my age you'd think I'd know better) to repeat a November jaunt.
In past years we have been to France, to Belgium and to Luxembourg, usually in the dry and sometimes in the very cold.
Plan:
1. Train out at about 10:00 / 10:30 on Saturday morning.
2. Train back at around 19:30 on Sunday. Fingers crossed we will be on an earlier train, I just want to build in some leeway, improving options on what we might do and / or on the weather.
3. Destination.... Not sure yet.... Albert, Verdun, St Quentin, Laon or somewhere like that.
4. Staying in? A Logis hotel, probably.
5. Number of bikes? Six in total, including me. A couple of pillions, too.
6. Suitable for? Anyone who can ride a motorcycle. Obviously it may well be cold, so be prepared. Rural France is definitely no warmer than rural England, that's for sure.
7. Roads to be ridden? We will need to keep an eye on the time and maybe the weather, so probably a mixture of the faster D and N roads and some motorway stuff. This largely depends on where we go and what time we leave. I will prepare Garmin friendly GPS routes for everyone.
Ping up interest here, first come first served.
