I'm cycling from Horsington to Portsmouth on 1st June and getting on a ferry to Ouistreham which arrives at 0630 on Tuesday 2nd.  From there I shall be cycling diagonally across France to the Alps where I hope to climb the 2700m Col du Galibier which is currently closed by snow but will, hopefully be open by 7th June. Once across the col I drop down to Briancon and carry on towards the Meditteranean climbing Mont Ventoux on the way. After a couple of days of relative R&R I will make my way back to Ouistreham by way of the Canal du Midi and Bordeaux before the final push through Normandy.  If all goes according to plan I shall cycle about 1800 miles in 25 days.
