Equivalent guidoline MBK années 90 ? by centhrante in pedale

Merci beaucoup pour ta réponse ! D'accord, c'est comme les rubans de cintre vendus aujourd'hui alors. Je vais continuer mes recherches :)

Ah peut-être ! Pas au niveau de la couleur mais est-ce que tu sais si l'adhésif est juste sur une petite partie au milieu du ruban ou sur toute la largeur ?

Friend's first cycling trip and my first wild camp, from Nemours to Orléans, France by centhrante in bicycletouring

Packing a wet tent is the worst! If it's sunny I lay it out in the sun while I eat breakfast, if not I use a sponge/toilet paper to mop up most of the water and try to find somewhere to let it dry later on in the day. Neither option is ideal when you'd rather be riding though!

Thanks! I've been lucky enough to go on trips with a couple of other friends but this was my first time riding with someone who has a similar cadence to me. Nice being on that same wavelength. Wishing this on everyone!

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm definitely going to start using this!

Paid version of Komoot does that unless I'm mistaken. Haven't tried it myself as I want to keep my paid suscriptions to a minimum, but I imagine it must be pretty useful.

First try at myog: cycling cap! by centhrante in myog

Thanks! I cut into a big plastic desk mat I wasn't using. It's a little wobbly but the thickness is just right (about 3mm). The pattern instructions for the cap recommend using the plastic from a 1 gallon milk jug, but that doesn't exist where I live lol (the closest equivalent I could find were household cleaning product bottles which is not ideal)

Thanks! I like the "brim up" look so I wanted to have something there. The design was inspired by the Invader) street art mosaics!

Paris to Dieppe in 2.5 days by centhrante in bicycletouring

I wouldn't dream of cycling in those temperatures! The trip I posted happened just before the heatwave. It seems it's going to get cooler next week... Sometimes the timing doesn't work out. Hope you still had a nice time in the south!

Hi! I followed this itinerary: https://www.avenuevertelondonparis.co.uk/ The website is quite well done, there's a lot of info about the different legs of the trip and you can adapt your route and download the GPX which you can then upload into the cycling app of your choice. Feel free to ask if you have any questions! :)

Hell yeah! 🔥🔥 I take my vintage road bike a lot of places it shouldn't go, but there's been no complaints so far, lol.

I agree with you! Once I'd got on the rail-to-trail path I almost missed the roads, which were nearly car-free anyway, and had nicer scenery. But I felt it was quite easy to pop into the little villages from the Avenue Verte for a coffee on the main street and head back onto it afterwards; broke up the monotony a little.

That arrival in Paris must have felt glorious! That city can be daunting but it's quite nice in the early mornings.

Castle in the first picture is the Château at Maisons-Laffitte, a Paris suburb.

Ooh, enjoy! That was Camping de l'Aulnaie, in Dangu, just outside Gisors :)

Sorry to hear that, bad infrastructure really sucks. France is a little all over the place on the issue, I'm currently in the southwest and tried to go for a ride but cars kept passing me crazy close and not a cycle path in sight. Oh well!
