About This Route

Today was a beautiful ride with just a few steeper lengthy climbs, most being pretty gentle. Also, with the exception of the roads as we neared Tarbes, we had little traffic. Despite it’s being a “yellow road” on the map, D918 was absolutely perfect. Lovely woods and virtually no traffic along with gentle slopes—really pleasant riding.

Background: My wife and I have been doing self-supported tours in Western Europe (a majority in France) since 1993. This series of rides covers our 2005 2 month route through parts of France. Our beginning and ending point is near Chaduri (south of Angoulême) where our friends have a farm with Gites and Chambres d'Hotes. We rode our Dawes touring bicycles purchased in 1993 heavily loaded with 700Cx32 tires. All of our riding was on paved roads, mostly with very little traffic.
