So we’re off the bikes now and headed back up to Calais.
This is our digs for tonight. A bit shabby but all we could get at short notice. The bottom pic is a cabinet of Armagnac, the oldest is 1942.
More to follow, but the stats are:
1500km of TET
fall offs:
Martin - 2 including one in a bed of nettles
Tony - 2 including one when the bike was stationary.
DrJm - 1, video to follow
Dr Jm wins.
Injuries:
Tony- 1 torn leg muscle (see “falling off bike while stationary”)
Dr Jm - bruises gained whilst manhandling bikes on descent of death.
2 wasp stings gained whilst having a wee, separate occasions, one on the head and one on the leg. Plus the previous foot injury gained on the shakedown on Salisbury Plain but still extant so it counts.
Martin - none.
Martin wins.
Bike breakdowns or crash damage
Martin - Speedo died
Tony and Dr Jm - nothing
Tie Dr Jm and Tony
Daring overtakes on the trail of people (I.e. Tony) dithering about:
Dr Jm -1 (video to follow)
Best looking suspension in action - Martin, by a country mile! (Video to follow)
Tantrums - none!
Despite France being mostly closed or out of business we found places to stay and eat every night, including a nice gites.
A few more pics to follow.
