Surgeres
87kms ( completed by 3.30 pm)
Vertical metres 570
Mechanicals , 2 dropped chains ( John and Geoff)
Cup : Geoff for taking on Alison's advice.... "make the most of every day without always looking ahead"
wine ( too early to confirm , see tomorrow's update!)
Another beautiful ride out...has been a hot day with a tail wind. Feeling fitter, morning teas getting better and better, pain au raisin and apple tartlets. Lunch at Coulon which is quite touristy but found a closed cafe which had left its tables out so picnicked in luxury under the trees . Saw our first French canals .
Lots of sunflowers again with windmills on the horizon.
First time finding accommodation was a bit of a mission; options were caravans, double beds for all or ride another 27 Kms. Hotels all full . Of course chose the double beds which we did not realise came with dolls and interesting tapestries .It is one seriously eccentric Chambre d'Hote
Walked into town and visited the XII century church.
Drinks at Cafe Francais and just about to head off to dinner
