Best cycling in the early morning. I have never seen so many sunrises in succession! Ceri has a mechanical, turns out brakes were rubbing due to wheel alignment issue. Turn bike upside down and a bit of pushing and shoving and all fixed. For me today was filled with disappointment as I had imagined a lovely breakfast after a slog up a hill . Only place we could find was the French local Mensa branch ticking into first wines of the day . Lunch will be better with a medieval village and a market square I imagine. Well it is but entry to said village was all new town and without signage . I realise I’m heading for low sugar irritability. Bonking is not just a sexual phrase! I recognise it and Ceri takes over and gets a super meal deal which we eat by a river . Both of us fall asleep. I decide we need a treat so we are a fabulous chateau with a 4 poster bed , full of faded grandeur but just what we need . Pizza and early bed beckon
