Annecy is an awesome place to ride. I went in Oct and the water was still warm enough to ride in a shorty. I guess that 'cos the lake's so deep the big volume of water retains the heat. Either that or my shorts are centrally heated! :wink:
My friend has a house on the lake edge (lucky chuffer) at the end of the lake away from Annecy itself. We were out for two days solid riding and no other boats were out to mess up the flat for us! Bare-footing early morning, it's so flat, then boarding for rest of day - brilliant.
Don't know anything about rules for boats tho as he lives out there full time so I guess different things may apply. I think he said he had to take a boat test out there but I'm not sure if a UK test counts as well - sorry.
