I'm presuming that we'll be able to leave the UK after Brexit

So based on previous years, is early June still good?

If so, who is in and where do you want to go?

I was impressed with the roads along the France/Germany border. I wouldn't mind heading over that way.

Assuming I can get clearance and contracts work out ok I'm in.

Happy to go wherever has good roads, decent scenery, great food and beer.

Sounds good to me, can visit my favourite bike shop in Colmar

I'm in but would like to look at where we go, maybe a list that we whittle down?

Clutch or tyres this time?

LOL Neither, just to look around, they had lots of goodies in that shop....

Cookie, what's your range from home? That'll probably be the limiting factor where we can go.

I'm in all being well.

Have a look at the Parc du Morvan as a compromise place to go. We could then do ferry one way and then Chunnel other.

We could stop in Dijon for two nights and gave a day riding without carrying luggage. Dijon is supposed to be a cracking place to visit.

Also Morvan is the home of burgundy wine.

50 miles

As I've said previous years, don't let that stop the choices. I rode to the French border this year without too much problem, if i have to stay overnight to get to you guys i will. It depends how long you go for and how close you are on the way back too as its not worth me riding for 2 days to get to ride with you guys for 2 days etc.

I'll get the maps out over the weekend and have a look. Orleans was a great night out and I liked Troyes so Morvan could be an excellent shout.

Cherbourg, St Lo, Vires, and Laval for first day? Laval looks really nice according to google images and it's not too far from Cherbourg

Cookie, is Laval doable for you in a day taking it easy? Do you know it? Is it any good for a night's stop over?

/runs off to google maps...

Laval isnt far from Le Mans, so easy for me.

Never been there mind...

I'm sure there's a hotel, a bar and somewhere to eat there. We'll be fine.

Just a quick play with Google maps.

day one - Cherbourg to Orleans
day two - Orleans to Dijon - Short day time to play in Morvan region
day three - Dijon to Lake Geneva and back - Stay in Dijon again that night. We could have a day without carrying luggage.
day four - Dijon to Laval
day five - Laval to Home.

No motorways and no tolls. - 1113 miles in total.
