The best kiwi BBQ in France.

A story of a couple of kiwi cyclists racing the etape de tour in France 2008.

More brilliant BBQ’s by Jay and Manu, thanks guys your hospitality was incredible!

We spend the day wasting time before the etape, a trip into Orthez for a coffee, which was crap – we didn’t manage to find good coffee anywhere in France.

That is one of the upsides and downsides of living in Wellington, the local coffee and cafes are world class so generally anywhere else in the world is very disappointing – except for Italy of course.

We get bored so take another look at the expo, Andrew buys some Assos clothing at very reasonable prices - for Assos!








With some concern Manu tells us that tomorrow’s weather will be bad, apparently the weather in the mountains can be bloody terrible, snow, hail – in the middle of summer – yeh right! It has been 30c for the last few days, how bad can it get? It’s the middle of summer in France and I am from Wellington after all…
