Better breakfast today even had cereal on the menu ate plenty knowing what was ahead.

First 20miles flat easy cycling along the banks of the Loire with its beautiful scenery and lovely villages with houses built of creamy white stone. Loire a Velo Is the name of an official 800km route that follows the upper reaches of the river from Cuffy,in the department of Cher ,to St-Brevin-les-Pins in Loire Atlantique .

The next 30 miles for us consisted of long straight roads edged with huge fields of barley & wide horizons enabling us to see the approaching thunder storms. Another bus shelter for 30 mins !

The relationship between sacrum & saddle seems to be going well with no need to apply medication as yet but still three quarters of ride left to do !

The last 9miles was tough for me but we had been in the saddle for 6.5hrs.

Arrived at our Chamre d,hote ( the keep of a Chateau) to be welcomed by Comte Charles Henri the owner who spoke perfect English.
