Riding through the forrest path
We have been riding on the SW coast of France for the past week after leaving Dordogne area in continuous rain fall. But yesterday finnally the sun came out and it looks like its here to stay for a few days. I also completed riding 3000 Km yesterday and Jennifer hit her first 1000 Km.
The trip has been great. We meet my friend Slyvain and rode with him for two days in the area from La Rochelle to Soulac north of Bordeaux. We then met up with Sylavin's family for two days. We headed south through the Medoc wine country into Dordogne and then headed back to the coast again just south of Bordeaux and headed south to Biarritz, about one days ride from Spanish border which is our next stop tomorrow.
The area we have been riding has been forrested with bicycle paths through the forrest and small beach towns full of vacationers in camp grounds, shacked up under cover from two weeks of rain fall. We rode in pouring down rain for several days and everything got completely wet!
I will post a few photos above to indicate the variety of landscape, the great food and wine of this area. Next is Spain's north coast and then Madrid.
Miss everyone one and looking forward to seeing you in Seattle.
