Arrived home about 48 hours after
checking out of the hotel Lyon, a little bit trashed from the lack of sleep and
sore from sitting in cramped planes, despite getting up at regular intervals to
walk the isles. It seems that coming from Europe to home is much worse for
jetlag than going the other way. We do it because we have this burning desire
to see more of what is over the horizon.
It was a great tour in a fantastic, beautiful, and interesting country. I'm
glad we concentrated on one region, resisting the urge to try and cover too
much territory. It suited this tour to occasionally catch a train when we
needed to travel more km than we could ride in the time available.
The Loire Valley and Burgundy Region are ideal for cycle touring with really
good infrastructure for bikes in most areas. But occasionally it dries up or
isn't up to standard. The alternative, D roads, are safe and in the main well
built.
I would certainly return to both regions for another tour as you can't
possibility see it all in one trip.
