This is Part 2 in an I-don’t-know-how-many-parts-yet series on planning a cycling trip to France for the Tour, L’Etape or just leisure.

So, the damage from 2009, including airfares, accomodation/carhire (campervan), fuel, tolls, food etc is listed below. All prices are in Australian dollars, convert to your currency here.

So understandably I am ultra excited for this to be done. I’m busy pulling last minute photos in for it, and double checking the copy, and making sure my writing isn’t too obnoxious, precocious or verbose, but it’ll be heading its way to production in the next 48 hours.
I’m just working out what this baby is worth. It’s totally awesome and ultra useful, comprehensive, and could save the reader hundreds of bucks. Tricky business.
