Bon jour mon amis!
Woke up to thick fog in Le Bessat, mind you, it is over 3000′ above sea level, think Snowdon.
Fog cleared as Harley and I headed towards the Rhône valley.
Currently taking a break in Tournon sur Rhône. Couple of photos attached at end of post.
Sorry that I omitted to report on yesterday’s mileage, total was 378 including the evening excursion into St E.
Today the plan is to continue onto Grenoble, famous for the Winter Olympics in, I think, 1968. Then follow the Route Napoléon to Gap and on to Barcelonette and o/n in Jausiers. Weather is now sweltering, but will doubtless get cooler as the climb into the mountains begins.
Ride hard, ride a Harley!

Hi mate, enjoying the Blog, impressed by the daily miles – your butt must be made of iron. By tonight you’ll be up around 850 I guess – we only did 900ish in 5 days! Weather better here today thankfully. And thanks for the riding advice but I’ll stick with me Honda – upon which I hope to emulate these mileages in 2013 – for fear of being left behind!!
