Technical problems ...

Just as we get to the end of the trip my phone decides to reset itself and reboot into the factory defaults and reinstall the software. No Internet access and can't even get into my phone as it wants a password that I do not know.

I had to write this after I got home and was able to restore my phone.

We arrived at John's at about 12:30 on Thursday, 21st May to a reception of champagne, flowers and medals.

We had only one mechanical problem which was a broken chain (no punctures), and only one accident when Les went off the road into a ditch but thankfully did not hurt himself (if only we had the video going!!).

Personally, I would like to thank John for organizing the second annual 'Cycle to Monbahus' and also to Les and Mike for the great company.

I wonder where we will start next year?

Last day, Riding towards Monbabus

Thought I would attempt to record a video on my phone whiel cycling along ...

End odf Day 7

We finally found a hotel in Aiguillon and decided to have a beer before we did anything else.


John seemed to enjoy his beer after the long hot day. We did about 110 Klms today, our longest day.

No Hotel!

We planned on stopping at Buzet to try the fine red wine that is produced there, only to find that there is no hotel. John (S) was having some problems from dehydration because of the heat and the long ride today, so Mike and myself left John and Les sitting in a cafe recovering while we cycled to Aiguillon to find a hotel (about another 5 miles).

Afternoon break.

Needed an additional break today as it is so hot. So we found this cafe and were able to sit in the shade. Note the Oringina drinks!!!

Lunch in Sos

Today is out hottest day. We found a nice restaurant for lunch, Le Postillon, where we could sit outside under the shade of the trees. Only problem (not really) was the other table full of English people. 3 course meal for 10 Euros!
