Right then. Thought I'd add to this thread rather than starting my own.
Heading off to do Bordeaux-Montpellier-Bordeaux 2 weeks today on my pompino. Taking minal kit, so clothes, tools, bivy and tarp, oh and climbing shoes just in case there's some bouldering along the way.
I'm woefully underprepared, haven't ridden a bike much this year due to doing a PGCE so I'll definitely be "riding into my form" as the pros say.
Any advice would be appreciated, hoping to wild camp most of it, going with a mate so getting murdered will hopefully be less likely. Set ourselves about 3 and 1/2 weeks to do the distance, however as we are flying back from the same place our schedule is flexible. Anything worth seeing along the way? Spent a while around carcassonne a few years back so that's definitely on the list already!
