This was one fantastic trip.

After biking for 88 days across the US on the Northern Tier route, I needed an easy, creature comfort ladened ‘vacation’ trip with my Smoochie. This was it.

The location of Provence was perfect, the weather ended up being perfect, our biking group of eight friends was perfect, the bikes were perfect, our accommodations were perfect and the family run Provence Cycling Holidays with Neil and his family was perfect!!!!

Working out of a home base everyday on our self-guided and self-paced tours was the way to go. We could bike as little or as much as we wanted, leaving enough time for sightseeing, shopping and of course eating!!! The time Neil put into researching and developing the courses one has to choose from for each days ride, made everyone of them a winner.

Anyone looking for a nice French biking experience . . . I would highly recommend the way we did it.

. . . and the four days we spent in Paris after our biking trip were a delightful way to reintroduce ourselves back to the ‘real world’!!!

Speaking of ‘real world’ . . . now back to our kitchen remodeling project!!!
