Another year, another cycling adventure

So here we are on 31st July 2015 and yet again I have failed to find a sensible way to change the name on the blog :(
We fly out on 9th August for this year's pandemonium in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia (and yes I do know the song thank you very much), but you will have to suspend belief and follow us under the heading of Bristol to Perpignan.  As my nephew Stephen would say 'Build a bridge and get over it'
At this moment The Mechanic has dismantled the bikes and packed them snugly away in their travel bags, although I'm not betting against them reappearing before we leave.  We had planned to go on an organised trip this year, with the luggage being carried for us, but it got cancelled late on so I have been reorganising everything so we can do it ourselves. I think the only outstanding item is currency, but I am confident of being proved wrong between now and next week. Intermittent posts between now and departure, thereafter I hope to get something up most days - don't feel you have to read it, but I'll post photos for those in a hurry!

The photo below is just to prove we are not totally bike obsessed - the Humes at the end of the 2014 London Marathon wearing sweatshirts from two of our 100 mile events.
