La Belle Martinique 2006

Postby virek » Thu Nov 16, 2006 4:48 pm

Dunno if you lot remember me? I was with the club for nearly two years and then buggered off to the French Caribbean :D

I thought I'd post a few phertaz of a Cyclo Sportif I did at the w/e.

It may be interesting for some of you lot to get a bit of sun Nov 2007 ;)

I'm told that the deal of flight/hotel from Paris is pretty reasonable. You could make a training camp week! Plenty of hills here let me tell you. In fact there's no flat at all, you're either going up or down almost never flat!

Here's the link for the details (perhaps Sylvain you could translate?).

Anyways here's the piccys:

Oh, sorry I didn't put on me Agreeables' shirt....I ripped the shoulder in an accident involving a road bike, the road and a loss of concentration ;)

Cheers,

Matthew

Wow,
you've got tropical weather, palm trees, exotic flowers, french wine, white coral beaches, and probably croissants at your CR caff stop.
You're really living the dream Virek :mrgreen:

You even have Carrefour hypermarkets to buy the massalé! :D

Sounds like a cool place to live - what do you do again - teaching?

Hi Sylvain,

No, I'm an informaticien, computing to you eeengleesh ;)

I married a local girl and moved from London to here for my sins.

Yeah, Martinique is like a chunk of France floated out to the caribbean and anchored there. We have pretty much everything, beaujolais nouveau for example, that you get in Metropole, only we pay between 10 and 30% more for it :(
