Day - 2, Blois to Millau

Another uneventful day really. A couple of wrong turns but otherwise a good day, with a bit of everything thrown in.

The good news, the proofs stayed in the topbox. It was a tad overcast first thing but it didn't rain once and once the sun came out it was scorchio, both Ginny and Phil's RT showing 30 degrees at one point.

We've covered over 300 miles today, which necessitated 2 fuel stops, either side of another McDs lunch. We probably had a 50/50 split of motorway and smaller roads, both entertaining in their own way. The motorways were far from straight bits of tarmac and remarkably free of traffic, so we were able to keep up a constant speed. The smaller roads were no less entertaining, though slow in places, taking you through endless deserted villages or on fast undulating and sweeping bends. I've said before I love to ride in France and today was one of those days. The weather helped, obviously.

The sun was full on by the time we reached Millau, which, as we found when we went out for dinner, is a quaint old town. We found a restaurant in a little square by the museum and sat out side watching kids running about, happily chasing each other, just playing, not at all antisocial. We had a suggested 3 course menu, salade terroir, sausice something or other and creme brulee. I shan't bother describing it all, suffice to say, it was all very nice.

After dinner we walked down to the river and across a very strange bridge that had no sides, so it wouldn't take much to fall into the river. Phil got some photos of the Millau Viaduct just as the sun was going down and tomorrow we'll be stopping off at the viewpoint, before riding over it. There'll be no photos from me I'm afraind, as my phone has died on me. Was ok yesterday morning but when I came to charge it last night, it wouldn't play ball.

We have another long ride tomorrow, finishing up in Spain, at Vilasser de Dalt, not far from Barcelona. 

Weather is a bit of an unknown at the moment. It may rain this end but should definitely be dry by Perpignan, 135 miles away.

Till tomorrow.
