Our very own Tour-De-France

Several of our members have just returned from what I am led to believe has been a fantastic few days in France. As you would expect there have been several dramas along the way but everyone survived to tell the tale.

Many thanks to Jim for organising the trip, no doubt slightly less hair now, than what he went with, couldn’t be any Greyer! Special thanks to Pemphil for doing a day to day report as the tour progressed. Great job Phil.

Reports attached below.

Have also attached a select few photos, the remainder are on a link in Day 2 along with a video (you have been warned)

    My sincere thanks to Jim for his superb organisation of a terrific ride through a beautiful section of the Loire Valley. I had a great experience with loads of laughs along the way. I was lucky to replace Paul, our website co-ordinator, who was unable to make the trip following his collar bone injury. I’ve no doubt you will be with us next time Paul – provided you can keep out of trouble!

    An excellent account of our Tour de France – we had forgotten some of the detail – and it all came back in full thanks to Phil’s journalistic skill. We endorse all of the praise and thanks to Jim for the effort he has put into organising this memorable trip. We both really enjoyed every moment and had a great laugh. All we can add is ENCORE!
