Toulouse and Canal du Midi

Another big city experience in Toulouse, with so many people it seemed unreal! I kept imagining that a sports event had just let out - but it was really just a vibrant French City on a Friday evening 🤪, how naive of me!

All ages, colors, sizes - just an active City. Many runners and cyclists on the canal paths- many “Bon jours” along the way.

Long day of riding with a stiff southeast headwind coming off the Mediterranean Sea. Took advantage of having a large riding friend to tuck in and draft along the way, made it much easier!

More astounding beauty on the Canal du Midi, with oak trees lining the path, and rich agricultural fields and woodlands. Crested the divide between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea! It’s all downhill to the Med from here 😌.Read more
