I've just clicked on this link now! Are you serious?????

Although "a bit" harder cycling up that section, I think coming down there on a bike would be pretty terrifying!

There's some more info on the 2015 Etape route here if you're interested.

James, I've sent you an email
Good to see that the random ramblings about Turbo Tony's family that preceded your post have not put you off

Perhaps you could contact Ian through his website, Fastrack tours in case he doesn't pick up on this thread?

Thanks Mike but it's hard to ignore this thread, it's hardly left the first page since I started it! I did tick the box to be notified of replies but within a couple of days my email had melted so I cancelled it!!

PM if you've not go it

27 and 30 ?

equals 57...

...and a mistake by L'rs
Correct total is 29 cars!

TurboTony said:

Longers. A record number of doubles? Is that scotch or gin..... Glen may wish to make a comment.

Tony, I think we're going to be closer to Cognac country

Shiny car = less drag + new non slip steering wheel = goes faster.

Simples

Mr Plow said:

... and we'd all be back to using maps and a compass to follow Longers

Don't worry, I'd slow down and wait for you so you wouldn't get lost

TurboTony said:

This is quite difficult to work out which units are suitable. Niiige and I both use TomTom XXL Classic IQ routes editions. They seem to go for around £60 or so. If you get to see a unit check that it has the itinerary planning function on page 2 of the main menu:


Etc etc...

I think you should change your name to Techno Tony!

Pete - I've got a mount inside but got a lot of reflection from the dash in the windscreen.

Put some electrical tape around the camera casing so the lens is in a sealed enclosure

Scoobimax said:

...the risk of damage

... to anyone following you! Having said that, as Pete mentioned, they've been tested to 150mph but track day organisers still wont let you use one without it being tethered in some way in case mount does give way. Sounds like a perfect excuse to fit a roll bar to fix it to!

[Longers]

Thanks for the positive comments everyone.

As I said in my email this trip contained some of the best "on tour" days I've ever had, and there have certainly been a few of those

Hi all

Sorry for the delay in releasing details for the 2016 tour. I've been bonkers busy for the last couple of months - I've not even been checking PH and hadn't realised this topic had been revived...

Those of you hoping to be going to be Peking will be disappointed I'm afraid!

I know where we're going (yes, it's the other side of the Channel again) and I'm hoping it will be early September as in 2015. At the moment I'm in middle of talking to several hotels and should be able to confirm final plans in the next 10-14 days.

Thanks for your patience

Cheers,
L'rs
