Kim's Happy Ride

 Kim has declared that the Dordogne is her new "happy place". 


Today's ride would qualify as her "happy ride" except the slight alteration added a few more miles and unexpected climbing. At nearly 1500 feet of climbing made it the most challenging so far this trip. The next time we will regress to the traditional route which should reset it back to "happy ride" status.


Not many photos but this one tells the story best. After some "too warm" riding days the solid overcast and ground fog was a welcome change. The sun came out for a brief moment at our coffee stop but the cool air make for a pleasant ride.



At the summit we passed the military base and the reminder that pictures of the facility are prohibited. Not a problem since the solid fog made the place invisible. The circle with a slash makes the point. However, there is nothing about not -taking a photo of the sign prohibiting photos.




The poster is announcing the Medieval Faire in Domme later this month. Guess it will be like a Renaissance Faire we are familiar with back home. Sounds like it might be fun although cycling there will be easier than trying to drive and park. 
  

Was nice to see that we could get coffee in Saint Martial at Kim's "happy coffee stop".
