Just back from holiday in Northern France, where whilst out on a morning ride I came across a billboard advertising a local cyclo-tourisme event, after an internet search I found the start location & details.
So an early depart & 25km ride to the village hall where I met the Cyclo Club Cucq officials and picked up my route sheet & Brevet card for the event.
Before the depart a sugary coffee was offered with some equally sweet cake. I was taking part in the 30 km petite ride as I also had to cycle back to our gite, having been given a cut off time by Mrs S. & kids for visit to beach !
Great route through some picturesque villages which also included a control where more cake was enjoyed as well as some Coca-Cola.
I was first back at the 'arrivee' where I had my card stamped and more coffee.
A very enjoyable event with friendly riders and club officials.......... and all for the sum of 2€.
