Motorbike Tour of France & The Pyrenees 2023, Part 3

From ‘Cognac’, we ride ‘Over The Sea’, where there’s Chaos at the ‘I’lle De Rey’ tolls and we get lost in the back streets of ‘Les Sables D’Olonne’

The ‘Whitchurch Bikers’ gave me the nickname ‘Tonto’ because I ride an ‘Indian’ motorcycle and they couldn’t pronounce my real name – Gerwyn
My 2 passions are riding bikes and sailing boats, hence the channel name ‘Tonto Travels Bike n Boat’
The aim of this channel is to share my bike rides – usually the scenic roads in Wales but, also trips in Europe and
Sailing adventures – racing yachts in the Bristol Channel and cruising to scenic anchorages and marinas.
