#Day94 Autumnal shades and beautiful flowers
Poitiers to Lusignan – 28km 15C Terrain: fairly flat roads. Today was one of those days when as I was leaving this morning my body was shouting at me, NOOOOO! But actually, once the blood started flowing it was ok. Fortunately, the route was much easier today, mostly road and fairly flat. I also walked […] Read More
#Day93 Thank you!
Chatellerault to Poitiers – 35km 15C and rainy Terrain: hilly off-road. I felt so warm and strengthened with all of the love and support I received yesterday following my post (reaching 2,000km) on here, Instagram and Facebook. So many touching messages, I am just completely blown away. Given today was quite a tough one physically, […] Read More
#Day92 Over 2,000km!
Les Ormes to Chatellerault – 23km 19C and beautiful Terrain: mostly flat country roads. Today started super well, the lady running the B&B made me fresh crepes for breakfast, hmmm. It’s been another beautiful day and a shorter distance too, bonus. I don’t feel too guilty in the end as […] Read More

For the first couple of hours yesterday, I was stuck in thick fog. Fortunately I was on very quiet country lanes and […] Read More
#Day87 Uh Oh!
Vendome to Chateau Renault – 32km 15C Terrain: country roads and some unexpected off-road. Uh oh! As my little nephew Luca would say. This was about 3km in. I usually try to get round road blocks one way or another but without wire clippers, this one was a […] Read More
#Day86 Ever wetter!
Cloyes sur le Loir to Vendome – 35km 15C Terrain: pretty flat country roads. I started in torrential rain this morning and it pretty much continued until I got here in a pretty soggy state and then the sun came out! Gutted. A lovely afternoon though and I had a chance to wander round until […] Read More
