Hi BB - he probably knows that but I'll pass on your message.

You're right: it is rather quiet about these parts without him stirring things up!

Here's a pic of where they stayed last night - I've 'censored' the legs in case any of you get overexcited again!

The gite at St Trivier

The link has no pic in it toya??

Apologies - I've fixed it. Must be because I'd added it to the album map after I'd put in the link here...

Thanks.

doesn't cynic look so young for a 63 year old!!

I'm making no comment Halifax...

Here's a few words from Cynic on today, received at 16:53 [apologies: I've had other things to attend to!], with full report yet to be written:

Cynic's Cycle Tour - Day 5 [from The-Man-Himself]
"This last leg was a pretty simple 40 miles, primarily cutting across to the Saone and then following it back to Chalons to complete the circuit.
Have been back an hour or so and now enjoying une petite pression in the old town.
More to follow and to bore the socks off you all later this evening."

[NB: you may have to wait till the morning guys and gals, as I may not be around to post it - Toya]

Dirty stop out..... hope he was worth it????

Lol - what a giveaway... a cultured evening out...

Cynic's Cycle Tour - Day 5 [from The-Man-Himself] - The Full Report
"Talking of legs, it does worry me greatly that Toya felt it prudent to censor my legs from this morning's pic lest you all got overexcited. Fine examples of shapely manliness they may be, but challenge Betty Grable they assuredly do not!

Last night's lodgings were a delight with an entertaining French couple to boot - or whatever else you might feel such foreigners merit.

Overnight, the thunderstorms worked themselves out so at least the day dawned dry even if cloudy and a bit chilly. Nevertheless, perfectly pleasant for cycling.

Interesting towns and sites are in short supply in this region, but it is still an idyllic countryside through which to pedal one's way.

To avoid main roads entailed some 'interesting' by-ways, portions of which had become somewhat claggy and slippery. As a result, my rear wheel became utterly clogged on a couple of occasions - very dull!

Lunch beckoned after 30 miles so we treated ourselves to a reasonable hostelry on the banks of the Saone. The meal was better than average and definitely enhanced by a couple of bottles of wine.

The last 12 miles were taken at a leisurely pace, in good part enforced by the very variable source of the towpath that we followed in the main.

For publicity, I made a vain effort to slide into the river with my trusty velo, but merely succeeded in acquiring a few minor abrasions.

So ends this year's tour with next year's already in embryo stage.

A few pix from Chalons are attached but without explanation for now - more than enough writing!

One for the album - definitely!

Tomorrow [Thursday] we hurtle back de bonne heure in time for a good lunch in Calais prior to taking the train back to UK.

Normal abuse will resume as soon as possible!"

we've come to the conclusion that the pics of cynic are not the "old Fart" he describes himself as on here, could we see the real old fart please. He writes like an old fart so he should look like one. So tell him he's not fooling me....lol BB

You're right BB - he's probably sent us pix of one of his cycle chums! I expect he's been driving the motor all the while... Never seen him on his bike, have we??

At last.. this is more like it....

Thanks for getting to the root of Cynic at last BB! - must be a greater likeness of 'The Old Fart'

clearly you bunch of shitbags need a pic of my arse then!

further, be aware that next year's trip is already at an embryonic planning stage - looks like ither Loire Valley or around Gironde/Charente area.

anyway, glad you girls and boys seemed to have enjoyed my jottings, but it really is very hard work writing it up on a blackberry, but sure as hell not going to lug around the laptop on the back of the bike.

seriously good lunch in Calais - Le Channel comes highly recommended for the food, its very interesting and comprehensive wine list - and the loos which are a definite must to visit!

Welcome back Cynic!! Glad you made it - by bike or otherwise...

Praps it'll be a MAM cycle trip next year?

managing 4 bods is quite sufficient thank you!

pays yer money, takes yer choice

RDW = blue
TW. = red
BDEV = green
BVS = black

for myself, i still hold RDW though i sold 50% 7/10 days ago

did hold BDEV, but also sold that at a modest profit, but seeing the chart above, i think it merits re-investigation

Can see your back with vengance cynic. lol still don't believe your that fit !! Kates been drooling all over her laptop and got sticky keys....:))

Wrong cynic,, TW was nicely up yesterday..
