Ride report
Pete & Geoff set off early Friday morning with my bike and Kit already pre loaded in Petes Van. I took the easier route flying from Stanstead into Limoge Airport. Torsten picked me up from the airport followed by a 40 minute drive to their house/mansion.
The northern Monkeys arrived late on saturday morning after a detour to the wrong place !!
Torsten and Ro made me very welcome. These guys gave up their City jobs a couple of years ago for the rural life in france.
Pete and Geof arrived early evening. We took the dinner option of going into the 'local' town 5 km away. It was a Friday night, everything was closed except a hotel/restaurant. In hindsight a mistake and should have eaten back at the house.
The food prepared by Ro was excellent. Four course evening meal and a full english breakfast.
Accomodation very comfortable, I had my own room away from Geoff's snoring.
The riding was mostly forest and single track, covering about 200km per day good pace, definitely the best riding I have ever done.
I would totally recomend staying and riding with
