Hi,

I have 2 weeks free from 13th June and was intending touring through France, either heading south or doing a coastal Brittany trip (nothing definite planned yet).

Let me know how many miles you plan on doing each day, bike load etc and whether you prefer camping, hotels, or mixing it up. Maybe we can sort something out :)

cheers
Stuart

Sounds good, 100km or thereabouts is fine with me. Obviously I only have the 2 weeks, so I would not be able to go all the way to Mont Ventoux, but could accompany you on a fair bit.

Had any thoughts on a route yet? Might be best to continue this convo by email - stuart8reid@gmail.com

cheers
