The last few days have been used to finalise everything before next week. Christ, its only next week. It only seems like a few days have passed since they announced the dates for World Ducati Week and as of Monday, I'm going to be bloody riding there. As it stands the route is supposed to be something along the lines of Calais, Rheims, Lyon, Grenoble, Nice, Monaco, Savona, Genoa, Florence and Rimini, doing my best to avoid the Tour de France along the way. I'll do a bit of 'motorway' riding on the first day, but only to get the journey under way and from there, it should be a fairly relaxed four day ride on some of the lesser, non toll roads.
I've pretty much sorted my packing, which I've done my best to keep light. With the except of my shoes, I'll be keeping just my clothes in my rucksack as I don't want anything heavy and hard attached to me for the journey. It will also allow the bike to take most of the heavy things to. I've got all my documents, a note book, a few phrase books and a fold out map of France, but I've also left myself a little space as well. The plan is to update the blog when and where I can, but also to Tweet a few things as well. Hopefully it will be a trip to remember, all for the right reasons.
