Day 11
Set off this morning from our great little barn conversion - decided to head down the main road to Parthenay as considerably more direct than the cycle route and we had a big mileage ahead. Traffic fairly heavy and not a very nice road but only took 30 mins Parthenay was rather shabby - lots of empty shops and a bit of litter which has been noticeable by it absence in France. Bought some Pain aux raisins then joined the cycle route again - small roads but pretty hilly as no longer by a river Had trouble finding coffee so stopped for food and just drank water ! Had lunch ( the eggs from last night made into sandwiches ) then battled on to Niort - very hot afternoon and not much let up in the hills Stopped for beer in Niort as had just passed the 400 mile mark ! Found Lidl to buy a picnic tea as staying in bnb in country

400 miles, congratulations, four sets of firm thighs and shapely calves. Commiserations regarding the mouse poop.
ReplyDelete400 miles rather puts our 60, over 2 days from St Malo to Dinan and back, in the shade. Plus it was all along a flat disused railway track. Must try harder. I'll pedal doubly fast up the hill to upholstery tomorrow! Nikki
