Long time coming ...

This post has been a long time coming. Since I last posted, Jerome's been off cycling in the Pyrenees, I've been off walking on the Scottish Borders, and we've both been off to Alsace to visit les grandparents. Most nice.

Honfleur Cycling Trip

OK Peeps, here's the plan:

1. Nat collects packed luggage, bicycles and bike rack from Rick and Claire on Thursday evening;
2. Rick and Claire collect car at 4pm on Friday;
3. Geoff cycles to Nat and Billy's to be there by 4.15pm on Friday;
4. Rick and Claire drive to Nat and Billy's, all pack car and leave by 4.30pm.

The list of things we need to bring for the trip are:

• Bikes and equipment (tools, water bottles, tubes, one standing pump -- suggest Rick's, one CO2 pump and spare cartridges -- suggest Nat & Billy's);
• Bike clothes (helmets, tights, jerseys, jackets, socks, gloves, sunglasses);
• Non-bike clothes (including one decent thing to wear to a restaurant)
• PASSPORTS
• DRIVING LICENSES for Claire and Rick
• iPods & speaker
• Penknife or two
• Bags and bladders
• Phones, chargers
• Maps
• Eurostar booking confirmation - NAT
• Directions to Oncle Pierre's - BILLY
• Bottle of whiskey for Oncle Pierre
• Energy bars
• Energy drink
• GPS

Give me a shout if I've forgotten anything. N xx

Great weekend

What a lovely weekend we just had. Two barbecues, a great road ride, and Sophy, Kim and Francis over to stay. Cheers all, that was great fun.

Mmmm ... what a lovely day

It's sunny and gorgeous here in London. Who'd have thunk it? I'm looking forward to a nice bike road and a good dose of Desperate Housewives tonight.

Hello world ...

... and welcome to my blog. More coming soon.
