Three more ‘recces’ have now taken place in advance of the event in July, in the attempt to ensure that our new great endeavour goes as smoothly on our new routes and destinations as it has in the past, when Paris or Versailles were our focus. Pete Alloway and Fred Dyer drove the route so that the route notes could be checked and any improvements added, positions for direction signs determined and suggestions for suitable support crew stops made. Rod Elliott, support crew manager and Paul Fisher also travelled the route on a separate visit, with a view to identifying the hotels for support crew purposes, including bike storage and vehicle parking, as well as ‘snagging’ any extra hotel needs and determining relative locations, to help with the hotel and rooming allocation process. Meryl Brown and Kerry West visited Caen Castle to ensure that our last night party goes on without any hitches. The ‘proof will be in the cycling’, but we look forward to a great week and are praying for good weather!
