    Nothing to do with biking but am off to Angouleme, France tomorrow for work. Here's hoping there are no further lockdowns or I could be proper stuffed. There for the working week, no bike but temps in the 30's.

    In the 3rd week of Sept every year they have a classic car street race (Race de Remparts), one of the last street circuits. If you're going then that is definitely a good time to go.

    Been to Angouleme several times on day visits. It's a very nice town and as you would expect, there a lot's of great places to eat. If you get time there's also the possibility of getting out of town and hiring a canoe on the river, a very pleasureable experience.

    Angouleme is a nice small town. But not many things do to there after work.
    At 1 hour driving Royan is also very nice.
