Down to the Loire

Hot - 32 degrees this pm.

Met Richard on his ICE trike. He's been adjusting his holiday plans after an unexpectedly hilly and wet first week. On his recommendation I had a four course lunch with cider and coffee at the place where we met. Worked well and gave me the energy to extend my ride to 85 miles. Max speed 33mph. Average 12.3. Likely to be a record day this holiday.

Vitreous looked interesting but comprehensively shut, even McDonalds.

Nice bunch of people clearing out the Office du Tourisme in Craon. Practised their English on me and took my photo with bike.Læs mere
