The Valley of Heaven and Hell - Cycling in the Shadow of Marie-Antoinette

It's a personal adventure story and an exploration of one of France's most paradoxical and least known areas.

On bicycles and with a limited budget, the author wobbles along behind her husband as they retrace the lives of Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVl from their teenage marriage to their desperate escape attempt, and finally back to their rendezvous with the guillotine.

It is also light-hearted account of a very unskilled cyclist trying to pedal over 500 miles, from Versailles, across Paris and through the Marne valley to the birthplace of Champagne.

Their journey took them to many provincial towns seldom visited by tourists, each with its own particular charms and history, from Meaux, birthplace of France's noblest cheese, via Epernay and Reims to Dormans, site of one of the great memorials of WWI.

From peculiar makeshift meals in their tent to occasional gourmet meals, the couple spent three weeks exploring and enjoying a part of France that has the delightful air of the land that time forgot.

While there are some darker moments recalling the events of WWl and the horrors of the French Revolution, it's mainly a happy tale about a couple enjoying themselves and discovering the delights of an overlooked area of France.

The Valley of Heaven and Hell offers armchair travellers an opportunity to enjoy quiet waterways, the annual festival of Joan of Arc in Reims, iconic battlefields, the romance of the guinguettes, and to wonder whether Marie-Antoinette and her husband deserved their dreadful fate.

This video is filmed in the bush around Castlemaine and Maldon.
It’s been a labour of love the last month or so
(translated: I have driven my wife and kids insane!).
I guess it’s about the spring wildflowers, magpies and
the freedom of being out in the bush on a bike … or it could
just be about a mid 40s guy having yet another immensely enjoyable mid life crisis.

GMC Topkick Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike

2011-10-19T20:17:00.000-07:00

Product Description

Boasting a full-suspension, extra-strong aluminum frame, the GMC Topkick mountain bike is an ideal choice for both trail riding and rough city riding. The frame employs a floating beam suspension design mated to a Zoom suspension fork with elastomer/spring technology. This gives the bike a smooth, steady performance even on rough terrain. The Topkick's drivetrain, meanwhile, is outfitted with Microshift push shifters that control Shimano's tried-and-true TZ-30GS derailleur. The drivetrain also offers a strong aluminum wheel set with a V-shape rim profile and high-flange alloy hubs. And to keep you stopping smoothly in any circumstance, the Topkick boasts front and rear Promax disc brakes. Disc brakes are vastly superior to rim brakes, especially under adverse road conditions. True to its GMC roots, the Topkick mountain bike is rugged, good looking, and built for the long haul.

If you like to get dirty and ride the trails, you're going to want the beefed-up suspension and sturdy tires of a mountain bike. Designed for riding off-road and over rugged terrain, mountain bikes have strong, durable frames and wheels, strong brakes, low gears for hill climbing, and upright handlebars. Mountain bikes have either a front or a full sometimes called dual suspension built for absorbing trail shock.

Front Suspension

If you're a beginner or a casual mountain biker, a front suspension mountain bike is a good choice. You can ride it on dirt roads and easy trails, but also on bike paths and paved trails. You'll benefit from the comfort and smooth ride of the front suspension but your bike won't be too bulky or aggressive for casual riding.

Full Suspension

If you're a serious rider who likes to climb steep hills and rocky trails and take multiday mountain bike expeditions through the backcountry, a full-suspension mountain bike is for you. You'll benefit from the sturdiness and reliability of a full-suspension system as you come flying down rocky singletrack.

Best For: Trail riding, mountain riding, fitness, backcountry, expedition
