The bike ride this morning was great, cool and overcast, with an occasional sprinkle, and of course since no sunblock - Increased my freckles per square inch ratio.

A quick note before posting my regular blog of the day: Planning a quick bike ride to nearby town of Bressuire, France this morning, and was nervous with the "17 km" noted on my map. Did some quick calculations and realize, heck, that's only about 10 miles! Loaner bikes here are pretty nice, and J checked the bike. Grab my compass, my map, some cash, my phone, and some band-aids - and I am set. Photos soon! M
