Well, passed Mod 2 a few weeks ago and today I took my TransAlp complete with big-arse 41 litre Givi panniers on the ride of a lifetime. 6PM for 30 minutes around the peripherique in Paris.

These guys are crazy but after a couple of minutes I was weaving with the best of them... Certainly gets the blood pumping Smile

Did you do the round about round the arc de triomphe?

That is nuts.

Did that on Monday but only because I was lost. Smile the good thing about being on a TA is you can see what is coming. When I've done it in a car I couldn't see a damned thing.

I did that with my GF on a couple of Velib rental bicycles. That's a fun roundabout.
