An Englishman In France

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Nick Smith, Feb 20, 2020.

  1. Greetings! Nice part of France - easy to get up to Andorra for an occasional slide on the white stuff! Or down to the Spanish coast for sunshine & sand.
     
  2. Bienvenue Nick. :) :upyeah:
     
  3. Welcome to the Ducati forum great intro enjoy our forum
     
  4. Welcome and enjoy
     
  5. Welcome Nick. I'm doing the Pyrenees in June and see my route takes me within 40km of Foix. The lure of a cup of Yorkshire tea whilst abroad may be too hard to resist!!:) Trev
     
  6. Welcome. Nice place to live. Good plan.

    It’s done nothing but piss with rain in Uk for God knows how long.
     
  7. Now then.
    Just up the road from you, near Brive. Great location you are in for roads and Spain for cheap(er) bike trips. Passed near to you last year on our Pyrenees trip.
    Heading Alps direction this year. So difficult living here. :upyeah:
     
  8. The last 2 weeks I've been working in La Seu d'Urgell, on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees. A great town to head to if you're planning a bike trip. The N260 between here and Sort is a particular favourite of mine..
    As for the English weather :( check out the forecast here!! Screen Shot 2020-02-21 at 08.24.22.png

  9. Welcome Nick, spent several years around Carcassonne and Lagrasse, even took part in the medieval festival in Foix once. Ride outs to Andora and Barcelona, the Med just an hour or so away. Pyrénées, Montagne Noir......... even though my motorcycle was stolen in the walled town of Carcassonne in 1986 I will be heading back there quite soon. House hunting this summer - Bonne Route!

    Cheers
