My plan is to go again this year. Quite on what I’m not sure and there’s many a slip twixt now and September, but it’s one of the few items on my planner at present. What I did last Sept was ride down to the event directly (I went Dover / Calais and overnighted in Beauvais as there were a few places I wanted to check out en route). Then after the event I rode over to the Grenoble area( in the worst rainstorm I’ve ever known) to do some housekeeping on a flat we have over there. The ride back to the U.K. ended near Dijon though when my ancient two smoke holed a piston. I’m hoping for a slightly less troublesome experience this year though.
