I always find washing or rather getting it dry the most difficult thing when touring

Love the undies drying on her handlebars. What we do when touring, eh?

We wereable to read Jane's negative review of the Agrippa already on the Booking site. Maybe you can demand a partial refund.

Yes I know that part exactly. We did it a few years ago but had been warned and got a shuttle over the very scary bitp

I’m sorry this was such a tough day, and that you had the support you needed. Some of these branded routes have perplexing spots alright. A few years ago we rode a stretch of the Claudia Augusta south of Munich that I described as the most frightening road experience we’d ever had in Europe: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/europe2021/to-bad-aibling/

We are having a lot of fun with three generations travelling

This is one to put on a wall. Great photo.

The red plums

What are those?

That was Jane’s. They are on hire bikes and only riding with us for a few days so the little she had went into Matthew’s. Everyone will want to ride close to Jane tomorrow because they are delicious

But where did the original contents of the handlebar bag go?

Read todays episode to see what happened!!!

How far south of Lyon are you going? We still remember an awful time trying to bike through a few years ago and have been seriously looking at taking a train to bypass it altogether. So far, though, you seem to have found it manageable so maybe we would also...

I think that white rag and the grasses nicely illustrate the wind too 😬.

Probably not. The current year's young are sort of a grayish colour and only whiten in maybe their second year.
