It's Saturday morning and Madame was very obliging to give us our breakfast at 7.00. Up until know I've used the euro card to pay for a bed but unfortunately she only took cash so she had to follow us 3 kms into town to an ATM.
This area is renowned for the old buildings left over from the early forestry communities.
What a dream run ! Dead straight roads almost directly south to mont de Marsen
I stopped briefly for a pee when a Spanish truckie stopped beside me and asked the way to somewhere. I was no help but it was nice to know other people get lost too.
Lunch at a supermarket cafe. We've arrived already! The road was so smooth and with a slight tale wind we were often doing over 25k/m
Mind you, I HAD to get my wheel seen to. It had bad cracks developing around the spokes. Visited 3 bike shops and no one had a back wheel like mine (8 gears )
I'd nearly given up when we tried a 'Decathalon'
Marvellous !
"No problem!" He fitted a new wheel , tyre and tube ,shortened the chain and set all the gears for 74€
Merci merci merci 😅
The information centre set us up with maps of the route for tomorrow, and a good hotel for the night.
