Neil:
Cycling touring has been my hobby for 50 years maybe. The ability to change your mind exemplifies the hobby . Weather / interests / hills / bike issues all play their part . A bit of luxury does wonders for the spirit . We had a bed that could easily sleep 9! Breakfast was sort of in bed with food, milk, teabags , pan au chocolat all secreted in various bags . Check out 12 midday ! I love pondering the route . Nearby Vouvray tipped the balance . It certainly gave me a lift ! Having the one gear seemed to be no problem! Cities are always challenging Tours was no different the Loire a Velo took us right in although at one stage it seemed to be encouraging us to take the A10 !
We found a nice campsite with one or two people we have known from previous campsites. Ceri joins me today for a train journey back to pick up the camper van
