The cycle touring gods have smiled upon us for the last couple of days but today they were positivly cheering. Warm, clear and a tail wind, those three ingredients make for a wonderful days riding. Combine that with the wonderful company of Kevin and Mary from Plymouth (well very near Plymouth) and we had a top day.
Kevin and Mary are on their way to Basel
There is one terrible downside to all this warm weather, no more butter!!! We have become quite accustomed to butter and honey on our baguettes at lunch time and we will need to find a replacement that can handle a bit of warmth as it was 29degC when we arrived in Camp today. Also despite conscientious applications of sunscreen I also have an impressive bike tan coming on.
We sometimes have to be careful not to get complacent with our surroundings, it is so beautiful here and not just in bits and pieces but all the time that we find ourselves at times just riding along and starting to take it for granted.
Even better, tailwind, warm and downhill!!!!
The cycling culture here is amazing, on the canal path today we were forced to ride single file as there was so much cycle traffic that two abreast (love riding) was not an option. It also makes finding wee stops a bit tricky
