It took a while to get going this morning, for some reason I couldn’t find the Loire! Or rather I found it, but then couldn’t work out which side I should be on!
Once I’d found the side that I wanted to be on, I still didn’t get very far, something I had for breakfast decided to put in an untimely appearance! I felt as if I was back in Nepal for a while!
Thankfully it was all over fairly quickly and I was soon on my way, although I’ve not felt brilliant all day!
One good thing, it made for a fast ride, I was too worried to stop!
I started off following the Eurovelo route 6, but then spotted a nice road running along the Loire, so I’ve been on that for most of the day.
The restaurant in the hotel was closed last night so I had to venture out! Which maybe wasn’t a bad thing, going on this mornings experience!
I really didn’t walk very far, but for some reason my trainers have started to rub and I’ve now got a huge blister on the back of my foot!
Oh Sike!! You are so delicate!! 🤗 Will you rest it tomorrow? Are you camping tonight? xx
That’s me, a delicate little flower!
No rest, it’s fine when I’m riding.
79 miles in spite of all that. I’d have settled for twenty. I had coffee with a mate in Cowes who had just come back from Barcelona. ( But he travelled on a plane) I don’ suppose you’ll meet many fellow travellers at this time of the year. If you get back too early, you can always do a circuit round the Cotswolds. Most cyclists only do one tour a year and pack up for the Winter, Still, you’re in the best place. Tours seems a nice town.
Your right there’s not many other cyclists around at this time of year, lovely and quiet!
Tours is a nice place, but then most French towns are nice.
