Ride Day 47—31 Oct 2005—16410 Maison Neuve (Vouzan) to 16250 Chadurie

A rainy end to a wonderful tour, but with sunshine appearing as we were on the homestretch to the farm of our friends at Les Vergers du Faure in Chadurie.

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 Chadurie (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.If any questions, feel free to email me at jeffkadet@netdiving.comJeff
