S H F bike tours 🚴 🇫🇷 day 16

What a day, what a day!  As the saying goes, sometime the rain must fall,.. Well even though there is over 300 days of sunshine here in Provence, today was the exception. It did not dampen our spirits or shorten our ride. Off we go with 22 bikers, not I unlike a Minnetonka bike club ride -- a leader, a sweep,  most of us taking turns to corner. The only difference, we are not in the twin cities. We are in France. The scenery was fabulous. No way like Hennepin county. Not by a long shot. Not able to take many pics, we were in and out of rain showers all day. The pace was quite liesurely,... Like easy rider leisurely. ... Silly me brought my clips and shoes.  The bikes are step throughs very much like the Easy Ride bike in the twin cities only a "lovely shade of orange".  Quite the fishion statement.... 

All structure of some shade of limestone. All houses and buildings are made of stone and some shade of limestone. Every where an old castle AND at least one or more churches. Provence is quite quaint and really fascinating.  Very little here built much after the 12th-19th centuries. 

Have a look see---

Deb and Clay. 





The Minnesota 5 plus 1 Missourian .. Each photo is minus one...

  1. Need a picture of the boat and your rooms. How's the beer? Do you have a bar on board? If so, much in the way of options?
