Moto-Club Airbus France Toulouse

Match Made out of Monflanquin

20th edition of the medieval walled town of Monflanquin, rated one of the most beautiful villages in France

Sunday, August 15

"Hear ye, hear ye good people!"

Departure at 7:30 Mondonville towards Monflanquin.

Present at the Thomas ride, Sandrine, Jean-Claude Michel and Lysiane, Cedric and Karine, Fabrice and Sandrine, Vincent and Veronica.

For Michael and Lysiane was their first outing motorcycle "Airbusiens"!

They spent a very pleasant day and found the group very nice!

Weather wise, as so aptly Evelyne Dheliat Catherine Laborde and other weather girl "in the morning, temperatures were below normal, the mercury could not stop falling, we can say that was downright chilly for Jean-Claude, was 13.2 degrees rather because it was cold at your fingertips .... but Vincent was rounded with a small 13.5 degrees "

Suddenly, pitstop 9.30, a good coffee was needed to warm up the troops!

In late morning until mid afternoon, the situation has improved, thanks to the sun, temperatures rebounded, the maximum was 25 degrees.

But by mid-afternoon the clouds flit above our heads were gaining ground, the sky was variable, the sudden we felt a little moisture but these small localized showers were punctuated with bright, a little nudge from "Combard" (as Vincent puts it) and did not speak well, we did still do not let a few drops falling!

To return to the festivities: the entire village of Monflanquin disguised himself and has lived as the Middle Ages, at the time of its creation, in the 13th century.

Animations in the streets (music, skits, medieval market ...) were held without interruption throughout the village. Troubadours sang and danced and many games were presented on the Place des Arcades is heart of the Bastide. Monflanquin really kept all the charm of the walled city.

We have seen in the morning in a parade, a horse show and a show with snakes.

12.30 rallying cry "to taaaaable!"

We had lunch at the "Black Prince Pub" where some of us ate "local", they appreciated the good local produce (foie gras with caramelized apples and the rhubarde duck ... ") You will soon see photos to judge!

Arrival in Toulouse around 18h

Moto Grand Prix Catalonia 2-3-4 July 2010

Moto Grand Prix of Catalunya at Montmelo (Barcelona) the 2-3-4 July 2010

In the furnace of Montmelo, Jorge Lorenzo won another victory when he won the Catalan Grand Prix, his fifth win of the season Sunday at Montmelo. The Spaniard Dani Pedrosa and Casey beat Syon. Randy De Puniet took fourth place.

Grand absent Valentino Rossi, replaced by Wataru Yoshikawa, who is continuing his rehabilitation after breaking his leg at Mugello.

To enjoy the spectacle, some of us were located in the South Area Forum M, the other North Zone at the Tribune H.

Let us now turn accommodation at Casa America in Badalona (10 km from Barcelona).

What a program! Me-mo-able!

Located in a pleasant, quiet and not overlooked, this eason m campaign "rustic", offers a panoramic view of Barcelona.

Now, go back in the thick of it.

This "house" was crafted with simplicity, without additions, (tiles and exposed beams), very rustic, c OnForTe back inside, the decoration summary.

We stayed in 5 rooms with predominantly dormitory style bunk beds equally indefinable each other, let alone the bathroom.

We say that the sheets and cleaning are not changed and is a once per week but rather a both / YEAR!

We had a pet roosters (so far so good), but also farm animals such as ticks, if so, ticks and have a thick skin and Spanish, real rebel!

The breakfast was complete (coffee, chocolate, milk, meats, crackers, jam ...)

As for butter, he's lived, expiration date: April 12, 2009, yes 2009 and take the meat was probably a little bit of hot!

When we say rustic, it's rustic! Let us say that we should not play hard ;-))).

We'll remember ;-)

Departure from Toulouse on Friday to Barcelona via Bourg Madame and The Tunnel of Cadi (unique: 5 km length = 9 !).

In the evening, tapas and swimming in the sea

Back in the Natural Park of Cadi-Moixero, p assage by the collar of the Creueta (La Molina), a landscape truly sensational!, Bourg Madame and Toulouse.

Here are reviews of hot reporter Vincent ... how he still had to be there!

"Once again Thomas was the imperial route guidance ... even with a GPS that shit!

Well I do not speak of this charming hotel where we stayed and took a hearty breakfast, because I think that poor Lawrence should be sufficiently disgusted to discover that he had reserved for another add.

Excellent weekend! Enjoy your bike to go to Barcelona, good restaurant in Barcelona. The tests, running was simply spectacular (and yes it was the first time for me ...). Too bad we were not together. That said I do not regret the rostrum M covered, for the heat that made these two days ...

The return was almost a bit more daunting, given the torrential rain that has taken 40 kms from Barcelona, but again the wisdom of Thomas has made: He has told us about an old Indian saying that the Indian Cherokee qd pronounce it rains, "we stop and wait for it to pass!". Then we go shopping .. on small roads like our president knows we find: The Rise of the neck of "La Molina" (the real thing ... not for taffioles in sports!). The bags of my Katoch still remember ... But it was really great.

I will tell you next year, but this time with a beautiful hotel, and I will ask on Friday and Monday! "

... and Vero:

"A pleasant journey from Toulouse to Barcelona, with some changes in temperature. 32 ° starting at 15:30 to arrive at 18.4 ° above the neck.
An evening on the beach with strange smells! And one night (fortunately only one!) In a house a bit lower than the rest of the group's disgusting, returning the company we had two Rastas (too dirty) and full smoke makes ... I let you imagine the night. A bathroom too dirty to wash so the next morning shower on the beach!

Barcelona-Toulouse: 17h for arrivals starting at 23:30, one might ask if we had not set foot on the brake .... but not 60km from Barcelona bus stop mandatory under a porch where a service station 30aine biker had taken refuge: STORM seriously! and there for minutes waiting
Re starting at 18:20 of the refuge, and a miracle we managed to miss the big drops

Offers a dry finish and a good rider binomial and Vincent Thomas
Thank you boys, you make a beautiful pair! "
