Another fantastic rest day at Mary's with vast quantities of more excellent food, a walk with Max, a trip to the local garden centre and even a fun splash around in the pool late this afternoon!
So what's next?
Tomorrow, I set off on tour number 2 which will be nearly a week exploring the Chablais-Aravis region. There are a few big mountain cols en route which should make life interesting! The weather forecast is hot and sunny with thunderstorms which I hope will remain in the evening rather than during the day whilst I'm pedalling.
The week after that is nearly finalised and will be another route through Switzerland either via the Jura or the Mitteland, which is between the Jura and the Alps, to reach Basel. And then it will give me just under 2 weeks to get myself to Calais to pick up the European Bike Express.
So I'll let you know how I get on!
Another massive thank you to Mary for being the most amazing host, for the use of her washing machine (again!), for baking the most heavenly carrot cake and cooking all that incredible food and for looking after me just so perfectly. And a big thank you to husband Rene and gorgeous 8 month old son Max for being a lovely part of this whole experience. It will be very hard to prise myself away...

Did someone say Chablis? Hope you stock up on wine ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey Andi still loving the blog, work commitments mean I don't get much chance to get on and say hi but I am with you in spirit.
Love the pics and the blog, you are doing well girl. Keep up the good work and remember to look after yourself.
Time trial race today and the fingers are crossed for Bradley, also crossed for Fri with the 800m for Becky Adlington.
Hope the weather is holding out for you, dull and grey here in Surrey today.
Much love.

Sounds like you have a nice few routes planned for the upcoming days. What an amazing experience you are having. Something you will never forget. So so proud of how awesome you are. I have no idea where in those legs of yours you have the strength to make it up those mountains. I had a chuckle to myself this morning as I was cycling to work that you would have to keep pedeling up the hills as your arms wouldn't be strong enough to push it! Te he! Look forward to the next update. Jxx
