Submitted by bobwreford on 25-Jun-07 8:20amSteak Frites!
Submitted by bobwreford on 06-Jun-07 5:40pmNone of this instant energy pasta stuff for Englishmen! Good old steak frites for Olde Bobbe. I have no idea if it mooed or neighed previously but it tasted very nice, good job I answered her for it to be bien cuit rather than chopped raw though..
By the time I got home after a post midnight dash from the ferry I had completed 1321 miles on 81 litres of petrol, an average of 74 miles per gallon - excellent!

Ze French Stick
Submitted by bobwreford on 06-Jun-07 5:11pmNo trip would be complete without some sort of incident but instead of seizing the engine or crashing our incident was just the left hand mirror stalk breaking off where my magic stillsons had cracked the tube while adjusting things before setting off. A few zip ties and a genuine thank you to the French for providing CPAM cellulose polystrand arboreal material beside all Routes Nationales meant that a piece of French Stick in the literal sense effected a repair!

French test
Submitted by bobwreford on 06-Jun-07 4:59pmWell I promised you a test to France and here is the proof - La Rochelle, having gone the long way round via Le Havre, Quimper, Benodet, Concarneau and Carnac in Brittany.
Several high bridges tested the bike's hill climbing ability at Honfleur, St Nazaire and Nantes and despite their large scale and crosswinds we both survived.
