I will definately look for the trousers. Do you guys fancy a ride out to somewhere one evening before they start to get dark? The restaurant at Hertford Marina is meant to be 'biker friendly'. Its a nice road out there but its a bit of a treck. There are other places I'm sure. M Yes, I’d never heard of them before. I will definately look for the trousers.

After much searching, I've ended up with the Rev'it Cayenne Pro suit. It's one of these with removable layers for both keeping warm and keeping dry. If you take them all out it lets air through quite nicely. I put some thoughts up <a href="http://mynameismwd.org/index.php?id=571" rel="nofollow">here</a> if you're at all interested. Rev'it seem to do a good job - I never go in to bike shops with the intention to buy Rev'it brand items, but I have quite a lot of their stuff now.

I can never understand how Geoff manages but he does like his own company and he does speak to me every evening wi-fi permitting so he shares in a way :-) Maybe the key is not to camp but stay in nice hotels instead . try to enjoy your last few days then back to glorious Cambridge :-) Micheal ..you sound just how i would feel after spending so much time on my own :-( I always say holidays are for sharing with someone.

I love Les Gets and this is the first time since meeting Geoff that i have not been out during the summer. I can never quite decide if i prefer it in the summer or the winter.... i love the skiing BUT there is something so special about being there in the sun .

Plus the bike gets it own little room underground :-) I think the route would benefit with a kink in it to take in my apartment in Les Gets http://geoffjones.com/les-gets-apartment/, its gorgeous in the summer with lots of bendy mountain roads!
