The Fridays Tour de Normandie 2015

[AKA Bob]

@Flying Dodo was @redfalo correct in thinking that you have already created some GPS tracks from Simon's Google maps?

I do - I just have to double check Monday's route and that Utah beach is still where I left it, and then I'll post a link to the various files.

Actually, looking back on the pages, there isn't a map for the full route on Monday, just the bit until the Seine. Paging @dellzeqq - can you email me your maps so I can be sure I've got things correct. Thanks.

Is there a current attendee list, please?
Just askin' like…

Just in case you'd rather stay somewhere else, my hotels are as follows:
Ibis La Glacerie
Premiere Classe Bayeux
Ibis Budget Honfleur Centre
Egg Hotel Dieppe

Steve, is your snoring is that bad?

 

[CharlieB]

No, but mine is.
In the two Ibises (Ibes?), be afraid.
Be very afraid.

 

[StuAff]

You lot should at least be safe from my snoring

PS: Had a thought...does the Normandie Express have showers? If so, please don't tell @Michael Adu or your departure from Cherbourg may be delayed somewhat......

 

[mmmmartin]

For the Thursday crossers to Cherbourg, any suggestions (other than the Ibis) for the hotel I should book for Thursday night? I'm thinking of a coastal wander northwest-wards on Friday, btw.

Am in Ibis Budget at La Glacerie on the Thursday night, aiming for an easy potter on the Friday, either to the north coast or possibly only to madame's place at Brix for lunch and a small Calvados in memory of @Gordon P
Will be very happy to go alone, especially after the uncomfortable dash into which the weekend's 400k degenerated, happy for company.

There's some recce'ing to be done on Friday morning, Martin, and since it involves off-roading, your name is firmly in the frame.

The route link above does contain one deliberate mistake, but if I told you the truth
a) people would complain
b) it would spoil the surprise and
c) it would deny me the pleasure of watching you all get all worried all of a sudden

 

[StuartG]

Off roading? Considers bike choices.

One light enough to carry?

 

[StuartG]

No more than 72 miles according to the schedule. But then there was a deliberate mistake.

There appears to be a world shortage of middle rings according to my bike shop. Are they Tolkien rubbish?
