Calais to Colmar (ish)

Another cunning plan, to cycle to the Tour de France, as one does. This was the original route plan, 481 miles, rather a lot of climbing and lots of patisseries, supported of course by the man in the van.

We crossed the Channel on Saturday 29th June and headed to a favourite campsite at Guînes. It was 34c when we arrived so no cycling for me, just a warm up patisserie and lots of cold beer.

Fortunately it cooled down enough to get some sleep, the campervan’s air conditioning ie door open is not ideal.
