I am playing catch up here. So now I see what you were up to those last 2 weeks - and why hockey was out of the question! Will jump on here from time to time to check in. Bon Voyage! By the way we are headed to Paris on June 16th for a month in France. Zero biking but a ton of walking, eating, drinking and discovery.

That’s a big ride for your first day on loaded bikes! Congratulations!! You must have some impressive residual fitness.

Great to see you underway. Isn’t Annecy a lovely town though? At least in the off season, but I don’t know if we’d like it so much later in the year.

We started our tour in Italy last year with our first ride in 5 months. The first couple of days were challenging and day 3 became an unplanned rest day.

In the hotel’s underground car park.

Bookings are required for TGV’s, and that effectively limits / reduces demand. Trying to make a booking system for the regional TER trains would be like tying to boil the ocean IMO and be counter to the underlying philosophy of encouraging ridership. Although it’s a times chaotic the current system works.
