Day 4 - Why a Duck ?
Very slow start today due to the error of selecting especially narrow roads with both top dressing and stealth dressing (like top dressing but without any warning signs). As a result it took us just under 4 hours to cover the first 100 miles.
Yesterday's road engineers with the nice French Curves were not in evidence until well into the days ride.
Incidentally, you know that you are in France when you can see the hotel urinal at the end of a corridor before you see any toilet signs.
As the day developed the roads turned into fast sweeping bends that seemed to go on forever.
Booking in at our hotel/bowling alley was touched to be remembered (well John was) by the manager and even more to be given complimentary drinks. (LJ was probably remembered as the idiot that fell in the drainage ditch!)
Unable to face his usual Gizzard Salad, we walked to town (2 miles down a steep hill) and all to wait over an hour to be served pizzas, needless to say, no top was left.
On the weather front, it was stinking hot.
