Hi WastedDays81,
I was following this blog with interest! I’m English and I live just outside Paris - for my sins God is punishing me and keeping me in France for a few more years yet ‘till my wife retires, originally from Altrincham in Cheshire!
I have never done a bike tour - a complete novice… picked up a lot of tips reading these replies to you: anyway, Iwas planning to do a solo trip around Cornwall in June 2025, but I’d much rather be in company for security and societal reasons, so I thought I’d drop you a line to see if I could join you on your french tour, and maybe in the future you could join me on the Cornwall tour.
If you want to keep your tour private, I understand, maybe someone else reading this may wish to join me.
I’m retired, wasting my years in France and waiting to be freed from drudgery: retired university lecturer, writing a book! Oh, speak fluent French! Would love to do a future trip in the Schwarzwald - Germany into Tyrol-time’s flying so want to make the most of my bike! Love to hear from you! Cheers
