Well having put shoes & all other wet items on the heated towel rail, everything seems to be dry. Great news!
Today has been an “easy” day, 80 miles & 3000 ft of ascent. Cycling past fields of corn, wheat, barley & sunflowers scattered with wild poppies, absolutely beautiful, I think the sunflowers 🌻 will be flowering during the Tour de France.
We passed some beautiful Château and had a lovely lunch in a small cafe. To make sure we kept our heads down, we had rain 🌧️ again, fortunately not quite as bad as yesterday but certainly enough so we didn’t deviate off route to look at any more Château or the troglodytes dwellings, 🙁 We are now in a lovely hotel and about to go out for some supper. The weather forecast for tomorrow is more thunderstorms & rain, fingers crossed they have it wrong.
bon appétit
Back to the start

Loving your blog!
An easy day 🤣 for you maybe with your stamina and determination 🏔️ 🚴♀️ 🥇
The photos looks great and sounds a tough day with the ascent and mileage you have had to do. Did the rain help to cool off?
Glad the clothes and shoes dried after your downpour the previous day.
Enjoy your nice hotel tomorrow and we all look forward to the next update!
Hi Sean, glad you are enjoying my blog, I appreciate your comments. It’s not cold at all, it would be nice if the sun came out and it stopped raining just for 2 day. Take care see you soon
Am enjoying your diary, but hate to think what a ‘hard’ day is going to be like! It looks like a fabulous adventure, though.
Thanks Ben, hope you are well. Apparently Tuesday is another easy day (only 50 ish miles), we have a hard day Wednesday so that’s going to be interesting
Love reading this everyday
Well done in all the rain xxx
Thank you Jane x
