Lazy Cycling and Wine - Mirepoix

This is a cycling and wine event for non-cyclists - hardened cyclists abstain! No, seriously, everybody is welcome!

Starting from my house in Bellegarde, we will cycle along the purpose-built 'voie-verte' cycleway, almost flat with no cars. The surface is smooth but sometimes gravely, so you will need either a hybrid or mountain bike or a city bike with fat tyres. It will be easy but to make it effortless you can use an e-bike.

On the way back we will take an alternative route via country lanes and gentle hills. The total distance will be about 35km.

At our destination in Mirepoix we will have a light meal at the Maison des Consuls wine bar in the main square. Main dishes cost around 14 Euros.

There is no formal tasting session but there is a large choice of very good local wines and we can choose by the glass or a bottle between us, depending on the numbers.

PLEASE BE AWARE, THERE IS NO OBLIGATION FOR YOU TO DRINK ANY ALCOHOL IF YOU DON'T WISH TO. I RECOMMEND THAT ONE SMALL GLASS OF WINE WITH FOOD IS REASONABLE.

There is no charge for the event itself.

I can 'lend' you a mountain bike or possibly an e-bike. I'm not trying to make money out of it but will ask 12 Euros for an e-bike or 10 Euros for a normal bike to cover my maintenance costs.

I will need to book the venue so please make sure you will attend and only cancel due to exceptional circumstances.
