Discussion
I woke up early on Sunday, enough to step outside and see the market sellers setting up
and to hear them bemoaning having been booted out of the square thanks to the mairie securing the space for club bikes
I was given a nudge for the naughty boys’ ride on Sunday — knocking on for a three hundred mile round trip with no aim to visit any destinations or sites. Just ride briskly and have fun.
There were some really interesting places, however. Suisse Normande was really very surprising for mostly flat Normandy and catered for all manner of outdoor activities on land and water. The coffee was crap, however.
Not the greatest photos, but this image off t’interweb is similar to the first view that we got from the top
The rising was just brilliant, such a good pace with competent riders, it really gave me an opportunity to fine tune by riding at speed and with excellent curves. I was noticing that it was difficult to gauge the accuracy of my turn in and to hold a line.
Still, the weather was scorchio, the food and company good and it was a carefree day. Bliss.

It is indeed. The basic accommodation, variable at best, is almost out of necessity as there are few places to accommodate such a large cohort with appropriate parking. We’ll be looking at other options, too, particularly since they’ve been bought by a chain called Brithotel and the chef changed for the worse.
However, should the food improve I’d say that it’s perfectly adequate and the weather is commensurate to the distance travelled south and also, proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.
What’s your status with respect to membership, moved away, lapsed etc?

I joined to do my IAM training and test. I became aware I don't like clubs very much, or group riding or many of people who frequent IAM type clubs. When I passed I ended my membership. I did during the time go on two European trips with the club. They do what they do very well it's just not for me.
