roads? This is prompted by a holiday in Ireland which has some great flat
cycling roads and some super mountain passes with magnificent views, but
definitely not the best surfaced roads.Mark
France ? Not that I've cycled in a lot of other countries but a short
(10 day) cycling holiday in Northern France (Boulougne to Paris) left
me very impressed. In Canada, some cities have a "pothole' contest to
find the largest pothole in the city. Some are huge. Thhis by the way
is partly due to our climate. Going from -30 C to +40 C can have a bad
influence on the road surface.
In France I never saw one although there was a warning sign in
Chantilly saying pothole (Well nid de poule actually) but I could not
find it.
Actually excellent road surfaces for the entire trip.
