We aren't very good at taking days off. We get easily bored. We ARE taking the rain tomorrow though, does that count?

So impressed how you two carry despite the injury and illness. Think you deserve a day or two off to recuperate.

What a pity it is a great ride. As far as south of Lyon I would suggest taking a train to Vieene - look at our latest journal and you will see what it is like South of there on the Via Rhona is really fantastic

I was hurrying to fit into a gap in traffic, so that was an unintended benefit - no traffic just then. Swarm of bystanders would then have fended off any arriving cars.

If I could read these last two entries out loud to Joni she would have tutted and questioned whether you were having fun. I would argue you ARE having fun, but it’s the famous type II fun which is mostly fun once you are through it!

Of course that is my favourite type of fun in any case.

Keep feeding mom the blue pills! Is there anything to be done for shoulder separation other than rest and then rehab? Presumably riding your bike for another month+ would not be on the approved PT list. Hah.

Asaaargh bad dad! Or right foot of dad at least. I’m hoping as I move on to the next page I will hear that it is dramatically better.

At least you didn’t fall into traffic?

Nice to see. Maybe this is fairly new. RideWithGPS still thinks this is mostly unpaved.

Wow. So much higher than when we biked along this river three springs ago.

Oh oh, we already planned that train. Good info for next time. How is it just south of Lyon,?

Glad to hear you made it in safely, and that you’ve got a train ride ahead to give yourself some time to heal and think. And I know it’s a flat ride along the canal to Macon (but unpaved most of the way, at least according to RideWithGPS), but you could just catch a regional train from Tournus to Macon also.

Whatever you do though, don’t try to lug your bikes onto or off the trains! It’s amazing how helpful folks are with this - there’s always some younger person ready to give a hand, and you should just go with it. Maybe wear your sling as a visual cue?

Sheesh. Hope it's just a minor injury. I've broken by collar bone before riding a bike and am now the proud owner of a titanium plate! Hope that isn't it.
