Tour de France

I'll make point of it, but I'll be pretty thirsty when I get off my bike. I'm thinking the tavern might be in the basement and I can kill two birds with one stone.

  • Tour de France

    A friend of mine and I have rented a self-drive barge in Burgundy for the first week in September.

    The next 11 days will be on our road bikes, 35-50 miles a day, again in Burgundy to enjoy the countryside and stay in small villages during the grape harvest.

    Of course, I will be interested in how the French heat their buildings and even though I don't speak any French, I will find a way to get into their boiler rooms and report back.

    After that, I will visit my cousin in Brussels like I did last year when I discovered that Belgian beer really does taste much better than anything I've ever had before.

    All the best,

    Alan

    I think

    They heat there homes with old white flags ?? Only kidding .

    Have a great time Alan. Sounds like a will thought out trip.

    Take plenty of pictures and drink plenty of beer. Its the only way to really tell the difference.

    Starting in Burgundy are you?

    I wonder if that red liquid in your water bottle is Gatorade?

    Have a great time. My friends wife does something similar, only she goes town to town on horseback.

    and don't forget the steroids!

    Have a blast.
