BIG THANKS for making SEBA a Possibility!

 So many people to thank for making SEBA (Steph's Epic Bike Adventure) come true! Thanks to Franck and Brigitte who joined Stage 4 from Bordeaux to Hendaye.  In particular, Franck for gifting me the Routard La Velodyssee guide two years ago that set the wheels in motion!  This guide was super helpful in the planning stage.  Also many thanks for taking time off work and from your day-to-day commitments to join us for a week.  And for trading off as 'sag wagon' drivers so the rest of us could ride.  It was special having both Franck and Brigitte along!   Thanks to Lance my dear husband for supporting my epic adventure and being willing to travel for 6+ weeks on the seat of a bike.  An an extra thanks for containing all the complaints about hills and other challenges!  May you too have caught the bike touring bug.   Thanks for Lauran and John for joining in on the full 4 stages of the ride!  And a special thanks to Lauran for...

Day 23 - 28 mi: Saint Julien to Vieux Boucau

Trail magic in action!  This morning, to get a headsatart on the expected 93  degree day, we opted to leave before breakfast and grab coffee and croissants along the way.  That meant pedaling in 59 degrees which was frigid!   John found a route that took us 3.9 miles to Lit-et-Mixte then magically put us onto an unexpected trail that would lead us back to the EV#1.  What a great trail!  It was smooth, wide and it took us through pine forests.  It was a magical moment! Before rejoining the EV#1, we took a quick detour to Cap Homy to see the sea and the surfers.  In the distance we caught our first glimpse of the Pyrennes and the Spanish border.  It was a reminder that our 5+ weeks of biking would be coming to an end a few days ahead.   Today Brigitte rode with us while Franck volunteered for Sag duty.  We all loved the trail -- comme on dit en français...c'est top!

Back for a Command Performance!

Because last year's BEBA (Betsy's Epic Bike Adventure) was so spectacular, many of us could not get enough.  This year we celebrate SEBA (Steph's Epic Bike Adventure) for an 800 mile tour along the Atlantic Coast of France.  We'll be pedaling along the " Velodyssée " route (also known as the French portion of Eurovelo #1 ).   Our daily mileage will be ~35 miles which is scaled back from a typical 50 miles/day to ensure there is no rushing our morning café au lait and allowing ample time for leisurely lunches and mid-afternoon breaks.  This trip is all about  joie de vivre ! The trip is organized into 4 stages and friends and family will be joining along the way: Stage 1:  Roscoff to Nantes Stage 2:  Nantes to La Rochelle Stage 3:  La Rochelle to Bordeaux Stage 4:  Bordeaux to Hendaye The big adventure begins September 1 when the riders meet up in Paris.  Stay tuned for more details as the trip unfolds.
