Ride Day 46—30 Oct 2005—16410 Maison Neuve (Vouzan) -- Circle

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Helvetica;">Although the sky was mostly overcast, this was another very good ride on perfect country roads.</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Helvetica;">Since we were quite close to our starting point, the farm at Le Faure in Chadurie, we found ourselves by chance stopping for lunch at Montignac-Le-Coq, the same place we’d stopped for lunch on the first day of our ride two months ago.</span>

Background:<br /><br /><br />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 Chadurie (south of Angoulême) where our friends have a farm with Gites and Chambres d'Hotes.<br /><br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br />If any questions, feel free to email me at jeffkadet@netdiving.com<br /><br /><br />Jeff
