Sorry you had such a bad time out of
Macon. Once we had found the track by the river impossible we actually found pretty quiet roads by crossing the river and had an overnight in a lovely little place
Good work Michel. I find those wordpress blogs almost impossible to navigate. Also, I tried to leave a comment on the site, but found the procedure too complicated. Still, Ludwig is an interesting guy!
7 years agoI went on Ludwig's site ....
Speaking of you guys : Die beiden sind gerade auf Europatour. In Amsterdam gestartet, sind sie schon den ganzen Rhein bis in die Schweiz gefahren. 4 Monate und mehr als 4.000 km werden am Ende zusamnengekommen sein.
Bon appétit Keith
7 years agoYou are certainly famous with us - one of only two English speaking cyclists (other is Leo) that are not Peter Mayle, that know of that have settled in France.
But hey, it's definitely la clé, eh!
With those 9 weeks substitute for a cycle tour this year?
Did you enjoy the new but same old view of Thoraise?
Once we get back, we will have to rendez-vous again at Fol Epi!
It could cost us, as we expand the guest list for Sunday dinner...
7 years agoWe are using a secret weapon - me. I will run up and down with our stuff and have Dodie make the journey just once. The exception of course was that place in Amsterdam where the toilet was down two flights!
7 years agoHi ,
So now I'm famous? Sheesh, I'm gonna get a big head if I keep reading posts like that. Not that it's very likely, mind. Anyway, great to see you two again and thanks again for the fine dinner.
Say hi to Léo and Steph and Michel when you see them and let us know how Dodie's knees are fareing.
Cheers,
Keith
Keith and I are sitting in the Auckland Airport waiting for our flight to Vancouver. Our 9 week New Zealand and Australia trip has come to an end. Our first non biking adventure in 5 years. I am going to run out of free wifi any moment so more to follow, but a huge thank you for easing the boredom of the wait for our flight. Keep peddling!
7 years agoPaxmans in Mill Bay/Cobble Hill is a win!
7 years agoHow are the knees holding up to all that charm?
7 years agoOh cool. We can help pack and move.
7 years agoThe lady who owns the B&B thought it was remarkable that Keith lives permanently in Givrey and also speaks French. But she allowed that at the halte fluviale here there are lots of English speakers. She said the halte here is one of the major ones in France.
We got Dodie the 500 wH battery, and I have her old 400. The 500 is working out for Dodie. It can do double the distances we are asking of it, on the flat. In hills or wind, it just makes it, though there was that day in Aachen where we decided to give it a one hour mid day boost. We have a (quite heavy!) 4 watt charger for it, and in an hour it gains a fair bit of charge.
Did you say you planned to rent a bike when coming again? Can you tell us again the plan? There was a boat tour in there too, we seem to recall.
Hey, we expect the Bartlett's have now landed in Frankfurt, so we won't feel so lonely on this continent!
It seems that we are either too stubborn or too stupid to change our planned route on the fly. See the next entry for more on miserable routing.
