Hi Seb,
Trust you are well?
We have just done around 600 miles hooning in Brittany and only saw the Gendarmerie twice. Thankfully

Our trip back to camp was quite special too :-)
I'd been driving VERY carefully on the way back, got onto a new road, not on the sat nav (note to self, update maps for next year) so driving well within the limit trying to figure where next. Got to roundabout to join original route and was pulled over by a Gendarme just as I pulled onto the roundabout . I think nothing of it. A regular check, I'd not done anything wrong after all. But no, I wind down the window and he tells me I was speeding and asks what speed I was doing. I say 70-80 because I was unfamiliar with the road. He laughs and writes down a number - and it says 117. I say not possible. Then my amazing wife turns to him and says in fluent French, he better produce some evidence then. He points to his badge and says this is all the evidence you need. After which I'm a bit of a passenger as he tells her I was speeding and she tells him he's not a nice man and why is he being so horrible. I sit back a bit more thinking this could go one of two ways as raised voices continue. Mr policeman then backs up a little (all this time with hands on hip right hand fingers next to his gun) and then asks for documents and license. All prepared, all ready just in case, I hand over politely. He storms off, writes down some details and returns to the car eyeing us up. After a few seconds he hands back the docs, says the limit is 90 and 'be on your way'.
Rest of the trip is spent watching the speedo like a hawk. My better half incandescent and dealing with a major adrenaline rush.
The last few laps of the race were definitely more exciting but those few minutes wondering how Mr policeman was going to jump were also pretty tense!!
Next year, as well as making sure Mrs B-H is on board to battle the rozzers, I'm going to have a dash cam fitted as well. Then we will have some evidence too!!
Sounds like you were a very lucky boy. Don't take this the wrong way, but is your missus available for hire !I'd been driving VERY carefully on the way back, got onto a new road, not on the sat nav (note to self, update maps for next year) so driving well within the limit trying to figure where next.

I'm sure Mrs B-H would be very flattered by such a request. Be prepared for a polite 'non merci' though ;-)A couple more shots of cars and podium celebrations too...

Hey Justin, have you really got a bike carrier that works ok on your Roadster? what model is it? I could do with one so I can fit both hobbies into the same trip out 
Indeed! It's called the Saris Bones 2 (there is also the 3, for 3 bikes) It works really well, although I think I'll need to get some sort of protective rubber insert where the clips attach onto the boot.
It's got three big rubber feet aswell, which is imagine have gripped onto the paint. I'll give the car a wash at some point and see if there are any marks. Didn't appear to be today though
