Ride Day 34—15 Oct 2005—19110 Bort-les-Orgues to 15400 Le Claux

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Starting off with an “iffy” sky, we were pretty fortunate until getting onto D49 when a steady light rain pelted us for the remainder of the ride to Le Claux.  Aside from the rain, generally wonderful roads.</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 Chaduri (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
