That’s me off

[Norman_Conquest]

That’s me guys, I’m off on my jollies To France for 6 weeks and not back until 28th August.

No doubt I will nip in to make sure hopesboro is behaving and post you a few pictures of me sipping wine on the lake.

1 point tomorrow, just to make sure. #UTB

I think someone will end up throwing him over the side

 

[Nosmo-King]

I can’t think of anyone more fitting for this!!

Fly in the ointment - he's coming via Eurotunnel.

[Norman_Conquest]

Sat in the garden at the moment in Cambridge- staying here tonight and then on the Euro in the morning.

Rob - I have the boy on the job, watering system on all the plants and the Toms are coming on brilliant. It looks like my son will reap the benefits of them.

Thanks for the best wishes lads.

Arrived at Niort around 4.39pm and had a reasonable drive down. Queuing traffic at Tours near pierrequiroule house . I think cars slowed down to see if they could catch a glimpse of him. Anyway, he was elusive and only beautiful country could be seen.

I did warn you about that péage. I was actually in A&E all afternoon. Got bitten by a bug (possibly a tick) in the unmentionable, which came up like a balloon. Just about to ask the better half to rub some cortisone cream on it - there's always a silver lining.

Just done a fab ride climbing over 1000m in 60km - last 5k climbing over 500m. Punctured half way up too French cyclists all just carried on when they saw me - with a courteous ‘bonjour’. In good old England someone would have stopped to make sure I had everything I needed.
Off for lunch in a lakeside restaurant shortly (when I’ve stopped sweating)

Norman - just arrived in time for the good weather. Up until yesterday it was all a bit grey.

You're lucky to get a 'bonjour' from roadies in France - they're worse than UK roadies for ignoring you and I speak as a former roadie. I acknowledge everybody no matter what they're riding, but then I do ride a pile of junk myself these days. Was hoping to treat myself to a decent bike for my 70th but the house move has eaten my limited dosh up again.
