Monaco....at last!

Well its 2015 and so far this year the only big ride was a weekend to Bath with Mrs G and two mates. I very drunken time was had by all. A good ride but cold (it was February).

Then of course was the quick trip to The Ace Café for the Adventure Travel Show. First time to the Ace Café so was real treat. Didn't buy anything but saw Graham Fields, Austin Vince, Sam Manicom and a host of other authors. Thought it might be a bigger show but never mind. Rode home to Kent via central London, poor old Mrs G gets taken to Oxford Street at last but as pillion and we didn't stop.

 

So onto today's real reason for updating the blog. 20+ years ago my best friend and I hatched a plan to go to Monaco and ride through the tunnel (in those days like Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna). Well a number kids of children and marriages later we are going on that trip. I am taking the Super Tenere and Mr W is taking his Triumph Sprint. We are loaded and ready to roll. We are on the underwater ferry (Channel Tunnel) tomorrow morning and are away for a week. The plan is to ride to Grenoble on the Toll motorway's on day 1. Day 2 will be the N85 Route De Napolen (Thanks Paul) over the Alps down towards Nice then into Monaco. We will spend a day riding around filming with the GoPro and then head north back over the high Alps via the Route Grand de Alpes (D902). This route ends at Lake Geneva and from there we will see what time we have and what route to take.

I will be updating the blog when I can. Very excited about this trip.

 

Updates from France see you on the road.
