Bonjour! Vive le cyclism!







Bonjour ! Ca va? We have arrived in France. Had two days with no cycling but lots of packing and driving and a night aboard a Brittany Ferry from Portsmouth.
Now found my favourite bar on the way back from the beach has wifi so have logged on to update my end to end blog. I hope the summer is going well for everyone and the weather is as good as it is here in France.

We arrived at our camp site on Sunday and I managed to get up at 7.00 am and get a lovely 40 mile ride around the lake of Hourtin near Bordeaux. The cycle tracks here in France are fantastic. The French love 'le cyclism' and everywhere you go there are cycle tracks which have lots of families out and about. This morning we rode through the pine forests in Hourtin to the market and arrived to find the whole world had arrived on bike!
Hoping to cycle every other day as we have to spend lots of time surfing and windsurfing in between. It's a hard life but someone has to do it! :)
