Alright, the tires are brand new. Ah, right—so is the bike, along with the tow hitch. Time to put everything to the test! On the agenda: 4,500 km all the way down to the heel of Italian Puglia.
The weather today was surprising for a May Day—we actually suffered in the heat with temperatures hitting 28°C. An idyllic, crisp morning departure from the Chevreuse Valley.
And then, well, you've got to cross the Beauce. At least this time around, the light was lovely and the greens were tender. At Jargeau, we crossed the Loire, then swept through the Sologne forest toward Bourges. That stretch of forest isn't exactly thrilling, nor are the outskirts of Bourges made of endless industrial arteries and roundabouts.
But later in the afternoon came the reward: the Livradois region and its playful twisties winding through a landscape of rolling hills and forests.
Just what was needed to get back into the groove. No more winter traffic jams—time to work on safety lines and lean into the curves again!
