To my amazement, the town mayor organized a reception in the square! About 30 townsfolk... And the local bike clubs turned out 1km out to escort me in. such a treat :) :)
A nice average of 23.5kmh over 250km, but quite a bit of climbing again.
Over n out for now
Just 36km to go. If you are in the region, esp with kids, you MUST visit the kept-alive medieval sector.
I can smell the end now, and the sun is out and wind blowing. Rider's paradise.
A bit south of lovely saumur. Going well so far, looking fwd to my dailg end of ride puncture.
Cheeky anchovy pizza slice, good salt hit. Sun is pounding now, spf50 galore. South of le loire, and everything looks and smells like the part of france I love.
Joel and Sydney, make sure you stay awake for daddy!
De la couee. No dragons here. Apart the one breathing fire on the remains of my butt.
Sleepy sat morning. Two more villages then coffee n tartine. Good start, sun out, 22.3kmh av, 203km to the finish.
