Overview

About this route

Today the climbing felt like it was never-ending.  All roads except for the last frew kilometers along D941 into Aubusson were outstanding, winding mostly through forested areas with an occasional farm showing up. <br /> <br />Getting into Aubusson, we found a real gem of a Logis named Hotel Le France.  Before dinner, we did a walk-about and found a very nice small town, some of which reminded us of Albi.<br /> <br />During the ride, we passed from Haute-Vienne to Creuse.<br /><br />Background:<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 2009 4.5 month route through parts of France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and then back to France.  Our beginning and ending point is near Chadurie (south of Angouleme) where our friends have a farm with Gites and Chambres d'Hotes.<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.  Pretty much the only unpaved sections were some bicycle paths in Germany and Austria. Sadly, that wasn't so great as Helen fell a number of times on the unpaved paths.  Fortunately, though, no serious injury.<br /><br />If any questions, feel free to email me at jeffkadet@netdiving.com<br /><br />Jeff
