Default Popped over to France for the day...

Took the Fat Bob for a run down to Folkestone, through the Channel Tunnel and into France today. It was my longest run in one day on this bike so far - 400 miles.

Weather was stunning. Here's a few pictures...

My gangly son came along for the ride...



and here's a view up the street from where we had lunch in Boulogne...



and one of the old man outside the town hall...

Looks like the weather was really good to you over there, we are going over to France in two weeks time for a 6 day tour around Normandy hope we get the same weather.

Looks a great day out Foxster, we managed Southport! Not the best idea I've ever had for a Whit Week jaunt! Place was heaving - weather was good though. Must be great to just pop through the Chunnel to stock up on frogs legs and vino?

Bike's looking foxy by the way

Excellent! It's fun riding in France plus lucky you had great weather.

I'm riding to Cheddar Gorge on Monday for the day.
