We are in the process of preparing for our return to France.

  • We are looking for places to sleep in between Madrid and Paris (we only need a little corner of land to pitch the tent!). If you can help us out, please follow this link.

  • We already have a couple of conferences lined up along the way. To see the schedule, follow this link. We would be happy to met with you!

We are also looking for an apartment in Paris or the surrounding area, starting in mid-May 2010. Any help or suggestions would be most welcome!

Technical subjects

Many people have many questions about our equipment.

Our bikes have Shimano Deore XT pieces. They have 27 speeds: 9 rear pinions from 11 teeth to 34 teeth and 3 front pinions (22, 32 and 44 teeth). They have steel frames, so that we can repair them anywhere in the world. For solidity, the wheels are tandem bicycles ones and have 36 spokes. Tires are Schwalbe Marathon XR, the better of the world for this kind of usage, like every cyclotourists we met said!

With all accessories, our bikes have a weight of 16kg (35 pounds)… each!

Our load is about 30kg (70 pounds) with food for a few days.

Our bags, our tent and our Gore Tex clothes are truly waterproof as we tested them when it rained.

Before we left, many people thought that our bags were very (too) small. We let you know that we have too much space! This shows that we can leave nicely with few things…
