Zitat von Hubert im Beitrag #16 are you one of these climate change deniers? The leafy Ardennes will be a desert soon...[/quote] Dear Wessie, No, but I recognize rain when I see it, looking out of the window, even in June. [/quote] have a poke around https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/F...nce-weather.php Looking at Grenoble as an example, June gets 9 wet days a year typically, September gets 8. In July they have 6 and August 7. I think it is worth the risk so as to ride in sensible temperatures as anywhere that far south is just too hot. Brussels, considerably further north, is a bit damper but the spread is much the same - typically 9 wet days in Aug and only 11 in June. I am not sure why you have such a downer on June as it is not that much different to other months in terms of rain. In terms of temperature it is much more pleasant plus it is within the school term time so the roads are not so crowded and hotels are often outside peak season so prices are lower. |
Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #13It's the blue one for me, I only need a bed. I will have eaten something I made myself (sarnie) on the train, but thank you of thinking of my dietary needs. I'm arriving just before 22:00 (so hoping the front desk is staffed 24/7 as advertised) and I'll be on the road again by 05:30, breakfast will be in Reims. This is still all theory, there's been a minor change in thought on accommodation for the group once in Croatia, and if that comes to pass, I'll be flying in with them, I'm not keen to leave my bike on a city street with nothing to secure it to for 10 nights (as I doubt it'll stay there much past 4), the other accommodation proposed had garages or private land, I get one vote and there's three of them, bloody democracy...   Jason. |
