Sue and I have a friend in Melbourne who is a Foodie just like Sue. This photo is for Tony Milton. Tony took up cycling on his brother's Perkins bike which he still rides today. The bike was built by a chap who was an Australian champion and today both a friend and mentor of mine. Daryl Perkins is the father of Shane Perkins, a future elite world champion in my opinion.Tony's greatness stems from his time as a chef in Paris and being all round nice guy. (He's also a bit round but after all he is a foodie).
The last home cooked Supper in Dijon was seared scallops with an orange aioli, crispy proscuitto and tomato, eshallot and avocado salsa. She's not bad for a home cook is she Tony?
I thought I'd just post a few photos of our time in Dijon as we move on in the morning for three days of meandering down to Lyon and returning the Citroen C3.A special mention goes to our Hostess, Coco who couldn't have made our stay in Dijon more comfortable. The apartment is well stocked and beautifully presented, all this and on the doorstep of all the Dijon attractions. She mentioned that a car was not necessary but a bike sure comes in handy.
The photos:
1. our meal.
2. a Brocante store and an old Citroen H-van

I'll miss Dijon as I've become acquainted with its layout and somewhere hidden is a network of cyclists that I was unable to locate, but they were lurking there somewhere.Looking forward to reaching Paris where I can ride with my friend Leigh and meet some local riders.
Talk soon.
