In a week's time I'll be nicely settled in my 'mobil' en France - the Vendee to be more precise.
My long-term love for Little Tommy Voeckler has grown even stronger this tour and I feel now is the time to buy my first team jersey, having resisted the idea for many years. It seems that nowhere online in the UK sells Europcar kit, not even probikekit which claims to have the biggest range of team kit in the world. A couple of Euro sites sell them but I thought I'd have more luck in France. Anybody know where I've got the best chance of getting one? If French bike shops are like the Dutch ones I was in last summer they're very utilitarian and 'no frills'. The Vendee is the home of Europcar so maybe my chances are better? I vaguely remember buying a US Postal Service bottle from Decathlon a long time ago, anybody know if they sell team kit these days?
It would be great to be riding my trusty old road bike (most sensible one-bike only choice) around the Vendeen back roads resplendent in the emerald green...if push comes to shove I'd settle for a cycling cap...
