Khulu's Tour 1 2023

Eurotunnel.
I haven't seen any Zarco or Miller stuff.
If you definitely want one I'll look tomorrow.
Let me know tonight though.
That's very kind of you, TY.
Much as you're experiencing I've never seen any Zarco stuff so don't worry about it, spend the day enjoying the racing bit thanks again.
Enjoy the rest of your trip and stay safe.
 
What are your plans for this summer?
I have no real plan but Maureen has already booked her flights so I definitely have to meet her in Sofia on 15th August...and then dump her at Eleftherios Venizelos 5 weeks later :D
 
It was red to start with!
This guy wanted a selfie with me on his phone so I thought I'd better be polite and take one too!
I don't think I can top this one.

You've seen Rinaldi twice and was meant to be Bulega.

Day 18

Monday 12 June 2023

323 miles today.

The hotel I was in near Mugello made Fawlty Towers look slick and efficient!

Once I got west of Lucca it was, at least, 100 miles of bridge tunnel bridge tunnel bridge tunnel bridge tunnel bridge tunnel all the way into France. Being high bridges over gorges they get a lot of strong crosswinds - they were fun. At least it was 28C and I was riding like an Italian. 20 miles from my destination (Castellane) I stopped to don jacket and gloves (I should also have put on my waterproof trousers but I didn't) and then, 1 mile later, I encountered 10 miles of pissing rain! My jeans, and other items, are hanging up to dry but the heat has gone.
I got checked into a hotel and as I was putting my bike into their secure garage the thunder was rumbling and then the heavens opened here for two hours. All dry and bright now.
 
Did you use the ferry crossing or Eurotunnel to get to France?
Scarperia's a great little village as is the whole of that area, as you'll well know.
Enjoy yourself at Mugello, if you could find me a nice Zarco T-Shirt (size L) I'd be very grateful.
I looked again and here were no Zarco or Martin Ts but only Pramac logo ones. I'll look at the Austrian GP if you like when I go there later in ther year.
 
That's vey kind of you but honestly don't worry about it. Just make sure you stay safe & enjoy the racing.
TY again though.

As a matter of interest what do you do about MOTO GP tickets when you're travelling around? You obviously can't get them posted to your house as whenever I've done this they've only ever arrived about 2 weeks before the race. :nenau

don't they just email a QR code like most other events now?
 
Better weather thus morning but I'm heading west into thunderstorms later, apparently.
Lovely.

I'm now in Florac and it's much smaller than I imagined.
Hope somewhere opens tonight selling food!

Meyrueis about 25 miles away in the Jonte Gorge is a better place to stay in that area. Plenty of restaurants to choose from with tables put along the riverside
