Join me on one of my fave training loops up around Cognac la Foret.

I’ll be in the Creuse near Bourganeuf for a long weekend in July and will hopefully be bringing the MTB. Can’t wait for those empty Limousine trails!

after 8 weeks off the bike with knackered back, that video makes me so jealous,looks a bit better than the housing estates my rides start and end with.
i even liked the music.

@ leggyblonde – get in touch nearer the time if you fancy a ride out.

@ flatback – hope your back is good soon. why not come out for a long weekend in July for a STW ride?

ARe you ok money wise strato? I have read an article in the newspaper about brits in France getting screwed up due to the pound being very strong at the moment.
If you need money i can take the bike out of your hand 😉

Hi Juan, thanks for your kind offer, très gentil. I’m struggling along OK.

You’re right though, there are lots of brits struggling, especially retired people who’ve seen as much as 30% knocked off their spending power. There’s quite a few having to sell up and move back to the UK.

I never had much in the first place so I haven’t got much to lose. 🙂

Hey, and I’m still working on the random order of my French sentence structure. 😉

A+

Yes I know it’s quite ironic/scary, too see all that.
Do you work actually or do you live from pension and other?

around my home town , a lot of brits selling up .

it is best for them to transfer their pension to the french scheme , it takes a few weeks to set up but well worth it at the moment .

and why my name doesnt appear when i post ?

juan – other, I’d rather not say, nothing illegal though. 😉

chris – I was wondering how you registered.

LOL
well if it’s not illegal I am not interested 😉

Nice.

It’s horrible how hard you have to try when you’re being filmed.

🙂

Cheers strato, I’ll do that.

My grandparents were interviewed for France2 on the whole dwindling pension thing, everyone got really excited and then they used another interview 🙁
