Anyone for the Somme..?

[JohnAC]

My usual cycling pal looks like he won't make it this year, so I would be interested to hear from a like-minded person who would genuinely like to join me (late 50's but reasonably fit enough to take this and other road-cycling activities on during the longer daylight days of theyear) for a pleisurely 6-day cycle trip to the Somme in June this year - dates to be agreed.

Plan is to use the Eurotunnel Cycle Service to Calais and cycle from there, then take the train back (takes cycles - I've checked). Cycling between 35 and 45 miles each day at 10-12 mph and staying at Chambre d'hotes on the way. 3 days to get there and 3 days in the area (around Albert and Amiens) to take in the WW1 memorials, sites and museums (much better than it may sound - the Somme is very picturesque) with plenty of good food and wine to replace those pounds that are inevitably removed each day of cycling!

For an idea of what to expect see my website from 2004 trip at www.geocities.com/cyclefrance2004 and if it appeals then email me at johnacohen@hotmail.com

Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you.
