Currently sitting on the terrace of a 16th century chateau.. Overlooking spotless gardens stretching down to a empty golfcourse. Cloudless sky and about 75.. Cooling breeze and silent. (Oh and a petit biere)
Cycled 65 miles, a few more than planned due to the Seine not having a bridge in the right place! Hot and difficult, but rewarding once we broke through paris and into the wheat fields. We both passed out in the hotel room for a couple of hours, but didn't miss the tour de france which showed us the ascents planned for day 10... Steph is planning on supporting me by holding the bags at the bottom. We are both very tired
View of the day.... Cycling through a rolling wheat field on an empty track with distant combine harvesters working the fields, and a display of more than 50 gliders circling the skies above.
Lesson of the day....Tomorrow we will go slower and take more breaks!
