Thanks Rachael. Hope the rest of your tour is great, and that we actually get to do some cycling when next we meet

Agree, but VG is the sweetest!

How did you like Dole? Maybe it was the rain, but it had a charm of an old French town unmarred by tourism. I kept thinking they could make historical movies without too many modifications

I think it might but I wasn’t sure at the time. I’ll have to check

Photos like this deserve double hearts.

Well. I'm truly forlorn to see this adventure dim. Thanks for your openness, your positive energy, your photos and your stories. Besides, your country seems to need more people like you around right now!

Very sweet rides!

This is exactly why train travel by bike is so stressful! Too much demand....and not enough supply.

Ew.

Sue and I were in Dole in 2013, and we remember pausing at this door on our walk around town.

Hi Susan. Does your frame pump not have a reversable head that inflates both Shrader and presta valves? Sometimes you can screw the head out and flip it around for inflating both types. Just wondering.

I hope all goes well with your flight home!

Thanks for following Kathleen - and thanks for your witty and sometimes obscure comments. They made me laugh, scratch my head, and delight when I figured them out! It was great meeting you/riding with you this year. I plan to return in 2025 - hope our paths will cross again

Thanks Karen for following along. My area of NC (Raleigh) was not hit as hard as the towns in the west - it's a real tragedy.

Thanks as always Rich for following along and offering comments. My plan is to return next spring and I hope we can get together again once again
