edited September 2012 in Tour & expedition
Here’s the plan. I’m considering a break on or about the 9th of September. Fly into Paris and the head south to either Nice or Beziers. I’ll be camping if solo or camping or B&B or a mixture of the two if I have a companion. I estimate about 2 weeks averaging 50+ miles a day. I don’t figure on climbing a lot of mountains or racing about, head down like a maniac. I’ll eat out in the evening or cook something simple in camp. Porridge for breakfast and lunch at supermarkets etc. I’m over 60 but quite fit, don’t get stressed and pretty laid back. Not bothered about companion age, or sex, more important that we get on ok.
So anybody up for it?

    half of them are even more stupid than you first thought.

    Might be up for it. Never done any long distances before. Might be a tad odd a 60 year old riding about with and 18 year old haha. Maybe we can get a few people interested.
