Day 33 Biking to Béziers

Quite the adventure today. We ended up logging in 75K - not what we’d intended.

The route from the Cap to Agde was fine - we knew that one. From there we headed west to Béziers. We went from reasonable bike path to road to trail to getting way off track because the signage disappeared - and finally getting back along the Canal du Midi.

Approaching Béziers we found a place that looked like it might serve food - but NO it was 3:15 and they stop serving food at 3. Where else but in France ……. We ventured on. Thinking we were now super close, we came to a sign saying “Deviation.” Fortunately, a German couple directed us to an alternative route and finally at about 4pm we reached Béziers.

By chance I spotted a small sign saying Brasserie and we ventured in. What a find. Totally cool. Not only were they brewing beer, but it had a great vibe - and hilarious signage. See pics. We couldn’t resist buying a bottle of La Gorge Fraiche, Blonde Artisanale. Hope it’s a good as what we drank there.

Fortified and back on the trail, we actually found the path by Canal du Midi to Agde, then back to the Cap. I lost Peter at one point, but fortunately my SIM card was still working so I found my way back home - albeit at 7:15, close to dusk.

Tomorrow is Peter’s BIG 80. His choice of activities. Curious to see what he’ll choose- no doubt something active.Read more
