2 years agoWhere in Europe can we find both pleasant riding and no cottonwood trees? I wish we’d been carrying masks while in the Po Valley a few years back. The cottonwoods were too prolific.
2 years agoYour ride today makes me want to dig out my scrapbook of our 1992 ride. I know we went to Cluny and we camped in Macon—then took a slow train south to Avignon to escape the rain.

Hey, why am I sitting in front of the screen and not packing?
Hey, thanks! That’s nice to know. It makes me feel a little more French with that bit of arcana under my belt. It also piques my curiosity to wonder how many of the 106 departments we’ve rolled our wheels through by now. At a quick glance it looks like we’ve seen over half of them. I’ll have to set it aside as a rainy day project to get an accurate count.
2 years agoScott, the Ain is noteable for one trivial thing. It’s department number 1 of France. Look at the car license plates - right side usually will show the department number that the car is from. It’s how French drivers determine who’s local and who’s a “foreigner”. Before the EU set license plate rules, the department number was the last two digits of the plate number. Nowadays it’s part of the frame.
