We've been riding.

We rode 40 miles when we left Chartres, following the cycle route for the way, to Campostella in Spain. Our hosts in Chartes set us up to ride a back way to a village that had a midieval  mural that was fabulous. The day was long, but weather was good, and we had a good camping dinner in Chateaudun (at a municiple park - 10 euro for all four of us.  The next day we slogged through to Blois, on the Loore river, 50 miles on a straight road to make time. We slept well. Today we rode 37 miles with no baggage, to Chambord castle and back on a beautiful cycle route.
