Jean-Luc "Express" Trip - Tuesday 7th & Wednesday 8th July
Guidelines:
- Pack very very very light! Essential items only
- It is perfectly acceptable to travel on the Tues evening in the kit you plan to ride in on the Wed and to have dinner in your cycling kit...you won't be alone!!
Essential Kit:
- one set of cycling kit (shorts, short sleeve top, gilet / arm warmers, long sleeved top, rain jacket, gloves, helmet, glasses)
- cycling cleats (we won't be walking far so you don't need any other footwear)
- puncture repair kit, 2x inner tubes, mini tool, pump, tyre levers
- cleat covers or sandals (you don't need a separate pair of shoes as we won't be doing too much walking)
- credit card & cash
- snacks (for Wed ride). The plan is to buy lunch at a local supermarket and have a picnic at the point where we will watch the tour
- Basic toiletries (sunscreen, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.)
- Passport and Euros
- Sense of humour
- A Karri: www.getkarri.com
Optional Kit:
- Swimming kit (for a quick dip in the sea)
- Sandals and/or cleat covers
- French phrasebook
