UK to Stella Alpina 2015
 

I'm looking for other female travel companions to ride to and from the Stella Alpina at Bardonecchia, in Italy, this summer. Thinking to leave approx 3/4 days before the event, taking the Newhaven - Dieppe ferry and a route that roughly follows the river Loire through France, avoiding toll roads and motorways as much as possible. Will be camping (unless the weather turns really bad).

Loire Valley?
