2018 Bike Trip - the Barbecue

Since Tom’s wife Christine had come over from England and Tom and Christine were staying with the Micallefs, Roger volunteered to host a ‘Celebratory Barbeque’ the Thursday after we returned.  We had done this once before, after one of our Loire bike trips, but since Tom comes over from England for these trips, and Christine is not always in Lyon, the timing does not always allow us to do this.

Unfortunately the weather was windy and threatening so we were unable to enjoy lunch on the terasse.  We still managed to have a very convivial time, with a variety of barbecued meats, vegies, starches, and cheeses.

We spent some time discussing ideas for next year’s trip.  Roger suggested us ‘junior members’ [Tom & me] as  candidates for taking on the responsibility of finding a suitable destination and planning some of the itinerary.  One problem that cropped up – Gérard’s car is already heavily loaded with four bikes, four people, and luggage.  Since we had discussed the idea of ‘graduating’ to electric bikes, we needed to look at whether the added weight of electric bikes could be managed.
A solution will be found and the adventure will continue!
