Hi TJ,
This is exactly what I'll be doing during the first couple of weeks in September .. only in reverse .. cos I'm staring from Spain. Plan A: Part One: Ride from Denia on the Med coast to Santander, Ferry to Plymouth, Ride to Scotland via Brixham and Birmingham. Ride back to the Flagstone Chunnel Station, via Bedford and Braintree, Train to France. Plan A: Part Two: Ride South through France over the Pyrenees and down through Spain to get home .. Job Done. Lots of reasons for me doing the trip and doing it in this way. I have considered trying to 'hook up' with a few guys on the way South .. but in all honesty .. I'd just be a pain! I can't ride fast enough to keep up and it would soon get passed a joke, guys having to stop and wait for me at every junction .. or lay-by loo Ask Mike .. he thinks I'm going Park Up at every bend! and I almost do! So far .. I only have 75% of this little trip 'sorted' and set in stone .. I'm still working on part two . Late September is going to be as good as it gets anywhere for a Bike Ride .. probably a mix and match of weather .. lower ferry costs and the main continental holiday crush will be over, much less traffic on all the roads .. however you should still (always) avoid Paris on a bike! in my opinion. More food for thought .. I think TJs idea is worth consideration .. but the days sure are rolling on by guys! Be Safe .. Book Early Trev (Anybody seen Lord Jon of Pitt .. he started all this .. this year )
