Default French Trip, July 17th-2th, 4th draft, There is no renewal!

Last chance to board the skylark. Champ's bowed out, understandably, due to
heavy race commitments in August.

Me, Ginge and Simian are leaving early on the 17th to head down to Ace's and
then mess about on fine French roads for a week. Who knows, maybe we'll see
that mad French wannabee Des at some point.

Well, we are spending sunday night in Luxembourg, and may toot round
the city for a while, probably not leave the city before lunchtime.
Other than that, kinda playing it by ear. I don't think we're aiming
to do 200+ mile days, cos we also want to explore and SP wants to do
some proper piccy taking.
Although we may completely lose the plot and try for Andorra, but we
have to be in Coquelles by mid day - ish Friday for the shuttle back.

Hey! You know the ZRX would look really cool with 4" pike bolts in place
of the bar ends.

Ate there a few times during my SkiClub repping stint over xmyth. Not
a bad place at all, it's true. In fact, there are quite a few nice
hotels there.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with a special trip there just for
motorcycling bargains. When we went, nothing looked any cheaper than at
home. If you happen to be going through, a different matter.
