How could you doubt me Pete!
Stylish is my middle name!
The one on the left looks very 'rich p' - comme d'habitude.
Narbonne - once upon a time my playground. Pancake flat with plenty of good scenery around La Clape...but you don't want to know that!
A ride from the station along the D168, pop into L'Hospitalet' on the way for some €€€ wine? (stylish at a price) and hit Narbonne Plage. Forget Sete and go to 'Espace Liberté with its restaurant to blow you out completely
Les Grands Buffets?
Ok, I understand that you may 'on your ways' as it is but a flat ride to Agde. Once there, Simon (perhaps Susie too - if she's feeling adventurous) take the 20km pancake-flat (again) road to Sete and climb Mont Saint-Clair - a mere 'tap-in' from Agde. You will huff and puff a bit but it is definitely worth the extra 40 mins following the coast road. all new road inwards too! I last went there in 2008 and it was all being refurbished at the peak, so will be perfect and stylish to a 'T' by now.
Brilliant cycling territory. Not Nice - brilliant
And. If you get a lust for Narbonne, take a trip to my friend Elie Bouvier at
Chateau Romilhac. His son was a 'treiziste' and he is one nice guy with a nice selection of wine to savour!
And if you see anyone in a VCCB jersey... old, with a moustache, male - you could always ask..
