New pair of slippers required……from the Vosges 12 July 26

I couldn’t take the (fully justified) abuse over Spurs.

We are truly shambolic………and not too good to go down. 😂
 
going to be heading that way same week......
25th July down to Verdun, then eastwards into the Alsace; then into the Black Forest and B500 before heading back west to Colmar and then heading west to the coast and back home. 6 days in all.....
 
Nice route.

I’m confirmed on this now.

Leave UK on 12 July, prob tunnel

Arrive back UK 23 Jul, prob tunnel.

No mate, Gooner was going to come on his lovely new v85 but sadly life got in the way.

I shall be bumbling along on my own, with minimalist kit.

I recon I’ll end up doing Colmar, Swiss passes, the I’ve booked La plagne for 3 nights to have a chill and a day trip out.

Prob head back via Vosges again.

Maybe I’ll bump into some kindred spirits on the way :).

Rocket farkled with puppy grips and phone mount for nav.

Test ride today and used Beeline mapping and google mapping.

Both good, I think I’ll go with beeline as I’m used to it.

I’ll tuck the beeline away in case of nav phone dramas.

Rosie inspects my robbed Tiger, she approves of the phone mount being repatriated….

Then realises she’s has the Tiger ‘single pilot’ for 2 weeks whilst I’m away mincing about on the rocket 🚀

Sod’s Law mate. Joiner found a space to build the new shed/workshop frame at the end of July - giddy £3k for starters.

Today was spent in the vets with a poorly pooch. £600+ later..

Wow, that pooch is way more important than any bike trip mate.

Hope he or she is doing well
