Hot-footing Provence

It was quite warm today, so we stayed in our sun gear all the time. The sky was spotless blue, sometimes a light wind and plenty of flat greens all around. Despite the sun this was pretty ideal riding conditions - so ride we did!

We rode from Bourg St. Andéol to Mondragon to Caderousse. We were 100% of the time on the Via Rhona, the main bike path through Provence. It is missing picnic tables and benches though. The ride was through green tunnels of forests, open fields, and the occasional lavender patches.
