- After a quiet night in the hotel du lac (not the one in yesterday's photo - bus stop) we set off on our bikes which we have named as they are the most important things we have with us. Hence the names Nicholas and Carla! I won't say who is riding Carla (Billy's wee joke). We had a lovely trip through forest and meadow with our first real hills and WIND in our faces. 9k from our destination we decided to ask this very helpful fellow French cyclist if a certain unsigned road would take us to Chateaugiron. Nothing would do but he escorted us all the way to the front door of the hotel. I was a bit worried when he looked at the map as he resembled Benny Hill strongly with beer bottle bottom glasses! We've never cycled so slowly down a hill but the difference was he kept the same speed up when climbing hills. Aileen's cream is working well and we strongly recommend 'Chamois Butt'r' for comfort when cycling!!
Distance: 57.4k
