En Route

Bonjour, çava (i cant find the question mark). ok so first i must appologise for any spelling or puntuation mistakes as i hava just noticed that the french keyboard has a very different layout to hte english...interesting.

so we made it to Bordeaux...the flight wasnt so bad... arrived and it was raining..thats a shame. we know that riding in the rain, and been told this a few times, will destroy your spirit. but hey ho we got on with it hung around the airport until the weather cleared...i say cleared i mean not raining as hard as 5 minutes ago!

the whole bordeaux part of the trip i think should be ignored...theres not much to say about it and if there were it wouldnt really be worth mentioning.

however. onwards from 'that place' and the REAL day one of the cycle was absolutely amazing...clear skies, rolling countryside with traditional french houses and vin yards accompanying our cycle through the region. what more could you want (question mark...where is it.....) ok so to cut this short because time isnt on my side right now...everything is good...weve stayed in a citadel, havent crashed...yet, indulged in some good...wait...REALLY GOOD French Cheese, wine, pastries, bread...just everything. ok so i go now but will update soon. take care.

Benjy, Tom & Josh xx
