Hey All,
Massive thanks for all the help. We had a great time and other than the always horrific wind blast of the A26, the roads were great. Ironically, the bike shop destroyed the sat nav cable so we ended up slightly free styling and it was ace. We adapted the ride routes to suit us and that combined with a few wrong turns made for some great routes.
If any one is interested, the D913, D3 and D603 travelling from Reims to Verdun were excellent. The D904 just past Verdun and to Toul had nice views, not amazing imo but good enough. St Die Des Vosges to Colmar via D415 was fun.
In the Vosges, we both really enjoyed the D417, Colmar towards Germarder. The road, the views, everything was perfect.
The D430, Route de Cretes, was fantastic.
A wrong turn on to the D416 was a proper stroke of luck and made for one of the best days riding.
We came back via Saverne, ok place, Incredible restaurant, Le Marne, best food of the trip. Modded the Ride route to pick it up back to Verdun. The D28 had been resurfaced in the crappiest gravel known to man, the Blackbird did not appreciate that, still some great roads and views.
The Ride Routes were great. We rode from Verdun, to a small village near Ardres, and used the D roads to get to Calais, D213 and D127. Ok, not longs roads, but surprising fun!
Will post pictures if anyone is interested.
We loved Colmar, Kaysersberg, and Verdun (we always enjoy Reims.)
Gerardmer was bit of a let down for us, but maybe we just got there at the wrong time.
Vosges, will be heading there again!
Thanks
Dan
