MooN Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 didn't quite do the run I'd planned today as unfortunately, Madame MooN doesn't live in the same space / time continuum as the rest of us mere mortals which means that we often eat at unorthodox hours... To be fair she's currentlt doubling up as telephone information service for friends and family wanting updates on her mothers state of health. I managed to finish the washing up by about half 2 and get out of the way before her bestie turned up for the afternoon... I had set the gps to take me south into the morvan with the Dam at the Lac de panneciere as a waypoint and Mont beuvray as a trunaround, back lanes and minor roads only on the way out and a faster trace to get back home. It kind of worked, I still found myself on some very stony tracks, not a probel in itself but not what I wanted really and the gps clearly thinks it's a road. I got a quick drenching on the way back which wasn't forcast either so I had no waterproofs with me ( unusual for me, I usually carry them all the time) but I managed to avoid the worst of it by boxing round the showers and I'd ried out again by the time I got home. 340 km in 6 hrs ( that's an average of only about 55km/h some piccies: Nice address... Crossing the river Chateau Faulin Dam! Here's your "Boeuf Bourguignon"... on the hoof, as it were... Just the other side of this junction I would be liable for a 135€ fine... 100km as the crow flies from my domicile. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are if you don't know how to avoid them. I saw none in the entire 6 hours I was out, but I was on single lane backroads for most of that time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Averaging 55kmh in 6 hours of country roads is good going, you're stopping and enjoying the place a lot so it's hard to go faster than that. 340 for an afternoon ride is also quite a distance! Nice pictures, pretty area you live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good option if you don't have the testicular fortitude to hack it in Spain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
