UPDATED: More photos!! We managed to kill eight bottles of wine between the nine of us for lunch. Strong work for Bastille Day. Vive le France!!!
So today we were going to go for a ride…..but then we went with a big group to the French version of a classier Walmart (think WholeFoods, Best Buy, Liquor Mart and Target all under one roof) and picked up a ton of food, wine and chocolate and wound up hanging out all day at the hotel and then watched the Tour stage. It was fantastic.
You can have a look at some stats to see what we’ve been up to:
Then I went out and fixed up the bikes before we headed off to dinner. So not much to brag about today. We head out of France and into Spain tomorrow. I might actually be able to understand what the hell people are saying for a change. I’m sure I’ll be speaking Franglish though and be a mess tough. The ride down and over the border is going to be a punisher. There’s a couple 15% areas listed on the map. So if it’s on the map, it’s STEEP as hell. Considering 8% is second nature to these folks here. I’ll be wishing that 29 tooth cog was functional. Could be fun though, I mean, we had a good rest today.
No photos really for today. I did update a couple other posts, so be sure to look for ones that have UPDATED in the first line.
