After a couple of monster days, we were looking forward to a
gentle 70 miles with very few hills. A little morning fog meant that we didn't
quite have the perfect conditions, but apart from that, pretty much everything
else went our way. Flying along at an average speed of 20 mph following the
River Vienne, the sun came out and the miles flew by. We arrived at our
beautiful gîte to find
a swimming pool, incredibly accommodating hosts and an amazing pizzeria for
dinner. All in all, a great day!
Comedy moment for the day was provided outside the café by
a chap nearly falling out of the car as his friend tried to start it in gear. I think
we managed to stifle our giggles… Kudos to Dave and Uncle Bazo for removing a stone in the brakes of the car which was making the strangest of noises. Bikes serviced too.

Day 1 and the Grand Depart seems so long ago now. One third down, and building momentum. Thanks for the kind messages. And happy birthday Edward!
