Anyone heading down on a bike??
« on: May 25, 2004, 11:55:19 pm »
Looking to join a few folk heading down on two wheels, mostly due to my complete inability to read a map.... Scenic routes especially welcome, as are gendarme-free routes.

Drop me a mail (ali@bisson.com) with route and time/date and I'll sort fery tickets.

Cheers,

Ali

I think you would have more luck towing a F1 with a Ducati ;D

Great, I'm going on this but I'm a bit concerned about the quarantine regulations when I come back to the UK!

You'd be better taking your cartoon bike to a Mickey Mouse show like Formula 1....


ps: Don't they make cartoon Ducati's????

Probably going Newhaven Dieppe. From there to Rouen, Gace, then left onto the b-roads to come in on the N301. Been recommended by a another fool on a bike.... I'd love to take a twistier route but I'll only dock at 5pm, so it'll be flat on the tank the whole way there to arrive before all the beer's drunk!

Cheers,

Ali

Ali, its only 2 & 1/2 hours from Dieppe, going for it. You have good light until at least 9pm.

I'll be riding down on the weds afternoon from LeHarve, get in about 1430 from Pompey. Dieppe route is a breeze as well good open roads.
Have a safe one.

Managed to squeeze on the thursday 2pm Newhaven-Dieppe so it'll be the late evening chase to Houx Annexe. Luckily some very fine friends are bringing 800 litres of beer, 2 ice-cooled pressure taps, and an ice-making machine (for hangovers, not cocktails!). Should give us something to do until the race starts....

See you on the roundabout on Sunday night.
