Day 9: Laguiole to Valance

Good evening.

I am writing this post live from dinner, while Today we had a beautiful bike ride in and around Laguiole. We biked in massive winds! 30+ mph and 2,000 ft. However, without bags, today seemed like a walk in the park.

But, we had a tantalizing five hour drive around mountainous terrain and innumerable switchbacks to arrive to Valence. Especially with Dad driving an automatic, it made for an interesting day.

Good night
