As is my custom, early to bed and early to rise…. absolutely necessary as the midday sun all this week will drive the temperature into the low 30s. Riding leisurely through cool hills and walnut plantations.
The countryside in France has a unique bouquet of sweetish new mown grass with an occasional tinge of manure finishing on the nose.
The route
Today was not without incident as I broke the shaft of the rear derailleur, no mean feat in a brand new bike.
The Dordogne river
now follows a few pictures of La Roque-Gageac arguably “the prettiest village in France” nestled between the Dordogne river and the cliffs , indeed with houses built into them.
The small blip in the sky is a hot air balloon
When you say the “shaft” do you mean the derailleur hanger?

I remember Soulliac and riding through La Roque- Gageac, indeed it is very pretty especially at this time of year.
