PIERREFONDS (Run to Reims) June 24th 2007

Eighteen intrepid riders set out on a warm Sunday morning ~ hang on, warm? whats going on? Following Jacque and his 'directions de papier'. First stop [ok, only stop] was this little market in the village of Marigny en Orxois with an exquisite hall/granary dating from XVII century.

[Kathryn, Jacko, Peter, Frank]



Some fruit and buns were purchased, but I am sure that Thomas was eying up a chicken for dinner!
[Colin, Andy, Kathryn & Thomas]

We eventually got to Pierrefonds. Billy thought this was a shop selling girls in large brassieres, sorry mate, you'll have to settle for coffee and cake!
[Chrissie, Peter, Billy & Kenny]

So, coffee and cake it was, with maybe some alchohol to take away the numb bum!

Some went up to the Chateau....

The End..........of Sunday afternoon, time to go back to Reims ~ the quick way!.
