In September, 5 ladies (Carol, Claire, Jenny, Sally and Soo), will be riding 1000 miles across France!
We will be privileged to have Jo (who lives in France) as our supporter and she will be driving Claire’s trusty Pegot Rifter!
We will be following the route described in the book: France en Velo: The Ultimate Cycle Journey from Channel to Mediterranean”. A beautifully illustrated guide that details a 1000-mile journey across France, covering 21 regional départements.
The route begins in St. Malo and winds through stunning landscapes, including gorges and picturesque villages, before reaching Nice on the French Riviera. The guide includes carefully designed maps and digital route information to help cyclists navigate the journey, along with insights into French cycling culture and hidden gems along the way.
