At the combined age of 99.75 we decided to let Georges and Myrtle take us on our biggest peddling adventure yet. The plan is to ride from home in Rugby to l'autre chez nous vers Le Muy in Provence following the length and breadth of France. We will try to keep the journey updated along the way as best we can and as solar power feeds the laptop. Our draft route has a page link down the right side.

Sunday 11th and Monday 12th May - Carcassonne
This started with our shortest measured ride as it was less than 3km from the city campsite to our Hotel du Chateau. Once checked in in the early afternoon, we were straight into our laundry duties again!
Knicker Case Update - the missing knickers were found at the bottom of a sleeping bag - for legal reasons and those of continued trail harmony, the sleeping bag owner cannot be identified at this time!
Had a great evening in the city; bumped into the French trail riders in a bar just as we were heading for our chosen pizzeria (it'd come 4th in the World Pizza Championship 2012 - we didn't ask the number of entries, nor there position relative to Dominos). As it turns out, one of the best meals out in years and, some promise of a repeat visit was made (and may well be stuck to this evening - Monday).
Monday has been a glorious day and for a change we'll just leave some more photos to cover our strolls around Carcassonne.
The afternoon closed with the whole expedition team by the pool :-)
