Cynic's Cycle Tour - Day 5 [from The-Man-Himself] - The Full Report
"Talking of legs, it does worry me greatly that Toya felt it prudent to censor my legs from this morning's pic lest you all got overexcited. Fine examples of shapely manliness they may be, but challenge Betty Grable they assuredly do not!

Last night's lodgings were a delight with an entertaining French couple to boot - or whatever else you might feel such foreigners merit.

Overnight, the thunderstorms worked themselves out so at least the day dawned dry even if cloudy and a bit chilly. Nevertheless, perfectly pleasant for cycling.

Interesting towns and sites are in short supply in this region, but it is still an idyllic countryside through which to pedal one's way.

To avoid main roads entailed some 'interesting' by-ways, portions of which had become somewhat claggy and slippery. As a result, my rear wheel became utterly clogged on a couple of occasions - very dull!

Lunch beckoned after 30 miles so we treated ourselves to a reasonable hostelry on the banks of the Saone. The meal was better than average and definitely enhanced by a couple of bottles of wine.

The last 12 miles were taken at a leisurely pace, in good part enforced by the very variable source of the towpath that we followed in the main.

For publicity, I made a vain effort to slide into the river with my trusty velo, but merely succeeded in acquiring a few minor abrasions.

So ends this year's tour with next year's already in embryo stage.

A few pix from Chalons are attached but without explanation for now - more than enough writing!

One for the album - definitely!

Tomorrow [Thursday] we hurtle back de bonne heure in time for a good lunch in Calais prior to taking the train back to UK.

Normal abuse will resume as soon as possible!"

we've come to the conclusion that the pics of cynic are not the "old Fart" he describes himself as on here, could we see the real old fart please. He writes like an old fart so he should look like one. So tell him he's not fooling me....lol BB

You're right BB - he's probably sent us pix of one of his cycle chums! I expect he's been driving the motor all the while... Never seen him on his bike, have we??

At last.. this is more like it....

Thanks for getting to the root of Cynic at last BB! - must be a greater likeness of 'The Old Fart'

clearly you bunch of shitbags need a pic of my arse then!

further, be aware that next year's trip is already at an embryonic planning stage - looks like ither Loire Valley or around Gironde/Charente area.

anyway, glad you girls and boys seemed to have enjoyed my jottings, but it really is very hard work writing it up on a blackberry, but sure as hell not going to lug around the laptop on the back of the bike.

seriously good lunch in Calais - Le Channel comes highly recommended for the food, its very interesting and comprehensive wine list - and the loos which are a definite must to visit!

Welcome back Cynic!! Glad you made it - by bike or otherwise...

Praps it'll be a MAM cycle trip next year?

managing 4 bods is quite sufficient thank you!

pays yer money, takes yer choice

RDW = blue
TW. = red
BDEV = green
BVS = black

for myself, i still hold RDW though i sold 50% 7/10 days ago

did hold BDEV, but also sold that at a modest profit, but seeing the chart above, i think it merits re-investigation

Can see your back with vengance cynic. lol still don't believe your that fit !! Kates been drooling all over her laptop and got sticky keys....:))

Wrong cynic,, TW was nicely up yesterday..

hi BB ..... we did a smidge over 40 miles a day which really isn't that much, albeit that the terrain is generally quite varied ..... that sort of distance gives us time to smell the flowers and see the sites or whatever

jimmy .... wakey wakey ..... i posted yesterday, so my comment of yesterday referred to the day before!

BB, Kate: that's why I thought I should censor those muscley legs of his ;)

despite my lack of general coordination and sporting prowess, i do confess that they are still able to deliver a good kick up the arse when necessary

Im well awake its just that your post was at 21.16 so i would assume you were talking about the same day .Dont want to be a day behind in the market...
Anyway a good start for all the housebuilders

cynic - if you are considering loire next year, I can strongly recommend saumur - located between the Loire and Thouet rivers.

i need to do some research, but we don't centre ourselves, but make a big circuit ..... the prob with much of the Loire Valley is that it is industrialised and an awful lot of main roads, which we avoid like the plague ..... however, i recollect there is a good network of "z roads" in the hills + other stuff to see and visit beyond the obvious.

Gironde/Charente has a lot of appeal, but it's a long way to get down there in the first place
