#1 | Bol d'Or datum

Picking my new RS up on Sept 1st, it's already booked in for the 600 mile service on the 8th and on the 12th it will be on a ferry to sunny France heading to Le Castellet for the Bol d'Or.
Plan is to take Peage (dull, dull and dull) to Ruon then cross country "D" roads to overnite in Annecy then D roads into the montains and to LeCastellet on Day then reverse the route home after the race.
By the time I am home I should have a good enough idea (should have 2,500 - 3000 miles on the clocks by then) to know if I made the right choice
Can't wait

Should be a doddle on the RS - I've done a couple of 500+ miles days on mine (on mixed roads, from single track to motorway) with very few aches and pains.

Enjoy the Bol!
