Being I live 20 minutes from Folkestone, I fancy jumping on the Euro Star for a £24 day return & heading out for some fun on the French roads. Never done it before & been messing about with routes on Michelin Maps. Come up with this one:

Anyone done it, something similar or got any recommendations?

Depart from Folkestone around 8am, get to Calais just after 8.30am. Get the train home from Calais around 7pm gives me 10 hours or so to get some riding in, take in some sights & stop for lunch with a coffee or two

Any input welcome. Cheers, Robbo

Hi m8 i'm afraid there is one thing and only one thing stoppin me ,the old ball and chain:biggrin:thumbup
 
France is a great place to ride if you get to the right spot.

I ride Normandy whenever i can but it's not a day trip option. Luckily i have a friend with a house there i can use but highly recommend the area if you get chance. An area called the Suisse Nomande is superrb riding country.

The old ball n chain eh! Have the same problem, lol. Just do what I do n tell her you wear the trousers n ya going. Deal with the grief afterwards! A bottle of smelly stuff from duty free would ease the pain!

Cheers for the input spoonz. Heard Normandy is a great place but like you say not for a day. Maybe when I got more time on my hands :thumbup
 
I went over to france last year up into to Vosges mountains, it was truly breathtaking the scenery and the roads, sadly will only manage to get to the Ulster GP this year but deffo want to go back over next year.
