On another level, each time we return here, we seem to go a bit deeper into day to day life. On Monday, which is a notoriously slow day in France, we (ie RDK), decided to go for a walk in the nearby country . We duly completed a round trip following a GR route out from Cordes and back and finishing with a climb to the square of Cordes sur Ciel, around 18 kms in all. It was a rather warm day but we managed to find shelter under trees and enjoyed a picnic lunch by the river. During a drink at a local bar we had a chat with a couple of old guys part of a peloton on one of their 3 weekly bike rides. Very fit lads and into their 70’s probably. A match for Cadel if current tour of Spain results are any indication.
