Off Again

Here we go again. Genie and I off on another adventure. This time we are riding from Paris to Bonn and you can follow along at www.on2bonn.uk

There are three of us cycling and we’ll all be writing bits so we have a dedicated site for this project. We are going to the UN Climate Conference which is happening in Bonn – much more about the whys and wherefores at on2bonn.uk

Today we set off from Truro Cathedral, tonight we are on the ferry to France, tomorrow a short ride to Morlaix and a train to Paris. The ride proper starts on Monday.

Do join us at on2bonn.uk and follow the adventure.

The ride that didn’t happen.

Today I was supposed to get home having spent last week riding over to visit my mother and then most of the way back with some train sections to speed me along.

However circumstances took control and the plan was stillborn. I got as far as finding the accommodation along the way and planing the route – which interestingly looked hillier than most days in France, Belgium & Germany last autumn – but never actually booked it.
