At the combined age of 99.75 we decided to let Georges and Myrtle take us on our biggest peddling adventure yet. The plan is to ride from home in Rugby to l'autre chez nous vers Le Muy in Provence following the length and breadth of France. We will try to keep the journey updated along the way as best we can and as solar power feeds the laptop. Our draft route has a page link down the right side.

Saturday 26th April - Marennes Plage to Royan - Start the day with Boogy Juice! :-)
Another sizeable bridge at the beginning of the day, over La Suedra before downing the day's Boogy Juice.
Great length of forest cycle trail for most of the way to Royan, with some occasional but superb coastline stretches.
Lunch came by a windy beach where we watched kite-surfers and land-yachts. Some beautiful houses on the coastal route into Royan. Pitched up at our most expensive campsite so far (but we're all captive customers for the obvious ferry south).
Georges had his first flat en route into town for an evening beer (which didn't quite happen).
Back at camp while fixing earlier punctured tubes, France's Bicycle Repair Homme lept from the campsite bushes to insist on personally repairing one for Georges.
