Countdown - 17 days to departure

Well we set off in just over two week's time. SC and I on ferry from Portsmouth to Chebourg on Monday 21st. TB flying Southampton to Bordeaux the next day.

We start riding on the 23rd, setting out from Langon to join the canal at the start (Castets-en-Dorthe) and heading for Damazan. We intend to ride for 8 days in total, finishing at Sete on the 30th. Then we leap in the car to drive to Merindol for my birthday.

To do:

• Bike rack
• Get gear cables adjusted
• Trial run at loading the car
• Not much more training
• Finish drawing the rather unnecessary lines on google maps
• Confirm we've confirmed our bookings.
  
• Sort out all the maps
