Monday 14-Aug Day 2

Hello all

09:30 to 17:30 cycling today but not all riding. 98 km  and 580 m ascent. Another nice day and we even needed to put on some Sun screen for part of the afternoon.  

Towards the end of the day we hit a path that was a disused railway for 20 km. Anyone who has used these know they are for  getting along quickly. Mainly because the maximum gradient is 2%, so no hills. 

That old rail path got us to the last town of of the day, Bauge-en-Anjou, it turned our accommodation was quite bit further.  7 km.  But it was up and down and all over the and around the fields. At one point we inly 450 m from it, but across a field of corn, so we had to do another couple of km’s to get to it in much more round about way. Its a lovely place, the complete opposite from last night’s Ibis in Le Mans.  Middle of countryside, surrounded by farms with all sorts of crops growing. 

Only one problem no dinner service. Fortunately David has brought some dry pack camping meals and our room comes with kitchen we can use. So now we are showered, fed and plenty of drinks inside us. 

Thats all for now. Its only 8:30 pm but bed is calling already.
