This is the latest thing to be taking up my time.

The plan is to cycle st malo to paris, watch the end of the tour de france and then cycle back again.

p.s. i'll be running a sweepstakes on our chances of success, PM me for further details

Main tip I have is make sure your fitness levels are pretty high ready for when you do it!
I imagine hill climbs are pretty tough on tandems.

Good luck though, sounds fun.
