Yeh! Our first day of real riding and what a day it was.

We had another delicious breakfast with Francois before being waved off by him and his dog parkour.

Todays ride was a spectacular. The roads wound quietly through beautiful country side and small villages. The temperature was perfect with the sun shining and warm and no noticeable wind.

We had these roads to ourselves for most of the morning.

Our last 15 miles was spent on a beautiful rail trail. Even though the roads have been super quiet for the whole day it was still a real pleasure to come on to the bike trail and enjoy carefree riding through the trees.

Maddies considerable selfie skills comes to the fore again.

Our dinner at our B&B, our at least what I could get a photo of before it was eaten.

Our dinner started with a delicious melon & prosciutto. Then duck with potatoes, herbs and green beans. The coffee course was a sampling of pastries.

Meg the house dog with her much loved ball in her mouth.

Meg could obviously tell I was a sucker for a ball chasing dog and spent the night bringing me her ball. Any time I took to long in rolling the ball back to her she would prompt me with a quiet huff while poised to catch the ball.

Today's ride: 45 miles (72 km)
Total: 46 miles (74 km)
