June 2008 French Cycling Trip
In 2003 a party of Wayfarers “enjoyed” a hard tour in the Jura mountains from the Cerniebaud Sports Centre, Le Chalet de la Haute-Joux (a modern high standard purpose built facility) near John Scott’s holiday home. You are invited to participate in the 2008 event which will run from 27th May until 2nd June. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Jura it is a department of the Franche Comte and lies on the Eastern side of France next to the Swiss border.
We will make daily sorties out from Cerniebaud to locations within the Jura. The terrain is mountainous with many lakes and forests and has little car traffic. Most days we will cover a maximum of 50 miles but due to hills it is likely to be demanding.
Attached is a draft programme for the 2008 event which John is willing to organise if there is sufficient interest. Car-sharing is the preferred means of getting there.
We do not have the 2008 prices but we expect that will be approximately 48 Euros per night depending on whether you take a shared or single room – this includes breakfast and dinner. Each room has a private shower and toilet en suite.
At the Chalet there is a secure storage room for our bikes and also a repair workshop where you can do your own running repairs or have them done for you by a member of the staff.
For those of you who do not want to take your own bike with you it is possible to hire mountain bikes at the Chalet.
There are a limited number of places available on this trip which will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
Please let John know if you would be interested in participating.
