Andy, My husband and I Phil are moving to Charente (16) when we sell our house in the UK however we pick up keys to our Farmhouse on 19th April. We both ride bikes and Phil will be going out before me. Would be good to get in touch. Don't know about any track days though, however the roads are brill!!! We hope to set up a bike friendly gite either later this year or early next year. Have fun Biker Bint (but only when it's sunny)
