Aragon 7.2

2nd half of the journey was much warmer than the first. It wasn't especially sunny but a bit of cloud cover kept the temperature higher. 

An uneventful ride in the main, sticking to speed limits (not many do) I was at one point overtaken by a huge Spanish juggernaut. There are some great roads in France and I have rarely had a bad ride here. Some great countryside, pretty villages, rivers and even a big fort have been encountered on the route today.

Not only those but on the wildlife front, I've seen a couple of shepherds, with dogs, herding, Spanish rabbits, a sky full of massive birds of prey (not near the rabbits) and a field full of cows and egrets. What is it with those two? Seems they are bezzie mates.

I made another fuel stop whilst still on the back roads. It was going to be touch and go whether I could make it here without but played it safe. Ginny had covered 277 miles by then. If I'd gambled, it would have been more like 350.

The hotel is in Lormont, on the outskirts of Bordeaux. A proper room, with a super king bed. It in itself, is almost as big as my room for the last 4 nights. Of course it's a bit pricier too.

I arrived about 16:30 and bagged a parking space right by the door. Having checked in and unloaded Ginny, I gave her screen and headlight a good clean. Rather those bugs on her than in my teeth, eh? I also did an oil check. That was fine. Ginny clicked over the 14k mark today and we've done over 1400 (maybe 1500 now) thus far.

Tomorrow I'm riding to Chateaudun. If you recall, I came through there last week, the second failed Intermarche fuel attempt was just across from the hotel. That's another 5-6 hours in the saddle.

To finish up today, here's a pic of Marc Marquez, MotoGP winner and sure to be, 2019 World Champion.
