About This Route

As Helen was under the weather, I rode by myself without all the luggage. The feel, especially when climbing, was mind-blowing. I rode to a lookout near the village of Corveissiat over a river valley called the Gorges de l’Ain. Beautiful. Along the ride was the very unimposing Col de France (371 M). 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 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. 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. If any questions, feel free to email me at jeffkadet@netdiving.com Jeff
