The good news is that I’ll soon be off to Paris and will be in Nice on Thursday afternoon. They’re about to start boarding. 

The bad news is that I’m without my bike. My sore hamstring has not recovered to a point where I think I could climb over 13,000 m in the next three weeks. And I don’t want to do long-term damage. So I made the executive decision to leave my bike in Canada. I’ve rented a car in Corsica, and will provide Mel with a personal sag wagon as she bikes. She has re-jigged the distances, and will have some big days!  I’ll hike as much as I can - that doesn’t seem to hurt. And we’ll now have a few two night stays, with more time to explore those towns. 

It’ll be a different trip than I planned, but I’m still lucky enough to be heading off to France tonight.  Can’t complain about that!
