This coming Friday, 8th September, I will be taking \u00a0the Portsmouth ferry to Ouistreham near Caen ready to begin cycling through France on Saturday. The Channel to the Mediterranean ride will end in Nice, 14 days and 870 miles later, having taken in a climb of Mont Ventoux along the way. The trip is organised and supported by the excellent\u00a0Peak Tours<\/a>\u00a0who I used in 2015 when I rode from Land’s End to John O’Groats (LEJOG).<\/p>\n

The group will be about 25 strong and from all parts of the country. I am particularly looking forward to meeting up with some good friends I made on the LEJOG. Each rider is provided with daily route notes and Sat Nav files and are left to navigate individually or in small groups. The “Magic Brew Van” will stop en route mid morning and afternoon with a selection of drinks and goodies. Lunch will also be provided each day.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy the blog which I aim to update daily, WIFI access and fatigue levels permitting!<\/p>\n
