    Thanks, I'm interested. Is there any trial riding to be had around your neck of the woods?

    re: XRV Normandy Invasion 2010

    Ever since my two read Caitlins epic adventure all Ive had is nagging about why I dont do exciting stuff like that on the bike with them. Thanks Sharrie

    So, myself and daughter number 1 or daughter number 2 are possibles at this stage, but we would only be able to go over for the first weekend, then back by the wednesday if we can make it.

    Miles and miles (or kilometres) of it. Not particularly challenging, though. Apart from in Suisse Normande, but I don't know many trails that way.

    In France, as you probably know, pretty much all trails are legal to ride on so just head down any that take your fancy.

    That's fine. I'm sure someone else will want to come along for the second weekend which will work out nicely.

    I wouldn't fancy being in your shoes, having to pick which one you take!

    Yeah, well seeing as she was right beside me when you posted that, and has now told her mother shes going to France with sean, ''you know mum, that man I told you about that did the wheelies as soon as the policeman turned around,'' I'd say that's a definate then. She's nine, and she thinks youre sooooooooooooo cool

    Her mother, on the other hand, takes a slightly different view of your road antics

    Not particularly challenging works for me! Especially when I'm on a 22 year old bike (and it's less than half my age!!)
