August 9. Near Tour, France.

Hi folks,

Yesterday I talked about this being the most incredible biking experience of all time. I really mean it–start planning for next summer; take two or three weeks off and come experience this adventure!

Today was an incredible day biking! I was a bit harder, owing to some hills, but I still managed to get 80 Km in. The hills were all on account of wanting to loop the bike path through a series of ancient dwelling that were built directly into a mountain. The French word for this is similar to our word “troglodyte.”

I spent much of today cycling with a fellow I met who is from Paris; a very nice person. Here is a picture of Guillaume and myself having a cup of Ozo’s coffee to start the day.

Lots of stunning scenery today, but otherwise uneventful:

Endless miles of vinyards

Endless miles of vineyards

Tomorrow  I am going to cycle to a coffee shop somewhere and spend the day working.

Later!
