It's off to France for me and my finace on Saturday morning for some r,r 'n' r for the weekend. That's riding, rest n recouperation!

Hope to do a nice long ride on Saturday afternoon, after a quick visit to our favourite caff for a hot chocolate, then another couple of hours on Sunday. Should be great!

The little cottage we stay at is right in the middle of the country so the roads are very quite and what drivers do pass you always give you plenty of room. For all they know they could be passing France's next -big- thing in cycling so they're very good at letting you have lots of room.

BTW - I'm not France's next big thing in cycling, but hopefully a few hours sweating in the saddle will stop me from becoming a great 'big thing' afer all that yummy French food!
