Just to give you our seasons greetings and of course to express the wish to meet up again at the Tour des Trois Vallées in Dieppe again. Next year the school holidays in Saxony are unusually early, early enough that we as a family can all be there for the event, unlike this year.
We have just returned from a three week stay on the Baltic island of Usedom. Encouraged by the unusually warm weather in early November we decided to take the bikes. Big mistake! A couple of days after our arrival the island was covered in snow, and ice formed in the harbours as well the water separating the island from the mainland. And there it stayed for the rest of our visit. The island has a good network of cycle paths, but the views from the coastal ones are often obscured by raised sand banks (although sea access points are frequent. We did also visit Peenemünde where the V2 rockets were launched in WW2.
Anyway, I'd like to wish all Sou'westers a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year and hopefully we will meet up next June.
All the best, and happy cycling,
Tony and Annett (Ashford)
