The frogs were out....

First show of the season in Dietenheim. They came from all around on bicycles of all kinds....

They tell us stories from their time in Afghanistan, we eat more Afghani food and remember our friends at the Grand Hotel Cosmopolis.

Arrival in Nancy? Do I have a crevaison? Non! Si! Non! Si!


There is a D.I.Y. bicycle repair shop just around the corner. Quelle belle chance!
L'Atelier Dynamo!
  

This is where Dynomades find all they need to fix punctures and other things. And it is here where idiots find great opportunities to play the story of Aaron Errant Cycliste Errant Itinerante...
 

En plus, it is really easy to find tools and parts all neatliesty arranged in boxes. A dream!


Some beauties....
  



Meanwhile just outside Vaudeville...


Amongst the snow and rain the sunniest day was up the hill to Gerardmer the wettest town in France....
We arrived to play at the 10th anniversary of the Bar le Grattoir...
