So we were supposed to be going to the Alps in June but unfortunately Mr MC has broken his olecranon (bone which connects tricep to elbow) so 4-6 weeks off the bike. Had to cancel the trip. Last time Mr MC injured himself was in Morzine in 2009 which resulted in 5 days in hospital as a result we went to NY for 5 days in October. So where shall we go this time? Probably a long weekend non biking (we are hopefully going to Sierra Nevada for a week in September). Any great suggestions? I thought of Bruges etc as wanted to go there for years but won’t the weather be horrific? Mind I guess most places it could be!

Valencia/Madrid/Brussels-Bruges/Bilbao/Paris – there’s loads of nice places to go to, where havent you been so far?

Madrid, if it’s a weekender.

Been to Paris but out of the other list Mackem not done any of those. Would Madrid be warm or not by then?

Turkey.

Madrid should still be warm, great city for a weekend.

Madrid’s usually fairly warm up til the end of October, then starts to cool, before hitting bloody freezing in December. Great for a long weekend, bit limited for much longer.

October warm, November warmer than UK but on the turn, generally dry and sunny though.
