Yay!

I made it to Rouffignac and back on my bike this morning and quite enjoyed the experience. I’ve lost a bit of weight and am quite a bit fitter than I was after the work I’ve been doing in my new house and garden so that was a big part of it.

I left in plenty of time to make my appointment and it only took 20 minutes or so to get there so even after doing a tour right round the village I was still 20 minutes early. Afterwards I even dropped into Carrefour to grab a couple of items and rode home like a real Frenchman with a baguette and a litre of milk strapped to my bike carrier.

It was a bit fresh this morning and I wisely chose to wear a baseball cap and a light scarf and if I hadn’t done I don’t think the ride would have been as enjoyable as it was.

My next challenge will be more problematic though. The new fuel pump that I ordered for my car will be delivered to a ‘point relais’ in Montignac. Rouffignac is a comfortable distance from Fleurac but I think Montignac is a bit too far for me to go to by bike. I’ll have to think about it 😕
