Although less miles and the land was completely flat the lads found today’s cycling the hardest so far as the whole day was into a headwind ~ have to say I didn’t notice but some will always seek any excuse for a moan! As one of the party commented on the flat landscape - “a bit of up and down is great as you can get the arse out of the saddle”. It was also a more overcast day with a few spots of rain which fortunately didn’t materialise into anything significant.
The beaches at St-Jean-de-Monts were totally deserted ~ miles and miles of sand with not a soul – a bit like tonight’s campsite at Chateau-d’Olonne. We just got here in time as it closes for the year tomorrow!
While I mess with the blog, Andy is in his little tent conjuring up chicken curry. I daresay we might open another 5 litre wine box so we can maintain our average of a bottle of wine per day – each! Quelle surprise then that one of the photos Vince took today was of the pair of them at a vineyard.
As to the blog, I believe some are experiencing problems leaving comments. I’ll tinker with the settings and risk the spam potential. Now that’s a thought ~ perhaps Spam for tea tomorrow. Oh hang on I’ve just been told its spag bol.
Looks great lads. The weather back in Blighty is f****** awful if that helps.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks a bit flat an easy to me. Sort of Gallic version of the Tarka trail. When does the real riding start?
Me jealous. Huh............
Glad you are having a good time! The pictures are brilliant. I'd be interested to see some of the pictures from your first epic bike ride alongside these as something - and I'm not sure what - seems different about you all. How many years ago was Land's End to John O'Groats.......?
