Hi from the south of France!

[quote author=ro link=1292312471/24#24 date=1293567099]I hope we'll do a Wiltshire Bikers tour of Europe soon and it would be great to have your help planning it. ...how late in the year can we go and still expect reasonable weather?

...generally speaking we eat out in the garden till late november so day time temps then are still in the high teens. the weather is best for biking outside the main 3 months of summer especially if you are prone to wear leathers. Personally I always find september is about as good as it gets as the kids have gone back to school so no crowds the beaches are still great to visit and eat at the bars on the beaches, the only small hicup is that all the old farts come out with their camping cars which have been in hibernation for a year, happily they have all yet to discover second gear so one easily breezes past them on a bike.[/quote] ;D
Sounds great! I'd definitely be up for a long trip in September.
