I'll bet it's not this week!
I drove through La Sarthe on Sat returning to Lux from the Vendée, but I know the "Oest France" region will be cooler, and wetter, this week.


I wouldn't take your money, I'm not rich enough to pay out!  Dull and windy with rain forecast until at least Thursday.  I rarely look beyond three day ahead.  After all we were promised an inch of rain during the day yesterday and the track barely got damp for more than a few minutes.

But fewer finishers.

Forecast for next week is a mixture of sunshine and showers so there should be plenty of tent pitching dry spells available.  Temps low 20s so ideal, imho.

Low 20s is good! Bit of rain to keep the dust down and chill the beer at night.

Went up to see the state of the sites today and was pleasantly surprised. The worst is always Beauséjour, which is clay based and gets very wet, but they've already cut the hay down and it is firm underfoot. For the rest, most are sandy soil so no worries. bright sunshine after horrendous rain in the night, grass growing as you look at it, and as Termie says, about the same all next week.

And the Bentley submarine impression in 2001... such foul weather gave me cause to invest in a certain van for 2002...
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

As this forecast is the best one, it's the one I'm going to believe      8)

The only thing I am ever optomistic about is the weather at LM, so I've just packed sun tan cream. :o

Yep I'm packing that too.  So it's bound to be wet (and Cold).
