South of France / Pyrenees July 2018
Fellow bikers, I will do a tour at the beginning of July 2018 down from Berlin via the Vosges to the south of France (Ardeche, Cervennes) and on into the Pyrenees. I have about three weeks and the dates are still a bit flexible. I ride an FZS600 and prefer camping, but I don't mind hotels either. Je ne parle pas français but my English is excellent. I lived in New Zealand for a long time. I've been down there this year and can promise you will love the riding, the landscape and the people. Did it by myself, which was ok, but would prefer some company this time. If you prefer more offroad, it might give me an excuse to buy an adventure bike to do that. So if you're interested, drop me line.
Cheers,
Thomas
