Bike Touring 2:56:00 [2] 40.5 km (4:21 / km) +124m 4:17 / km
Last day: still strong headwind going to Toulouse to catch the train after 2pm back to Bordeaux.
Very nice, easy ride along canals and seeing some sights. And it's always interesting to stay at various places from gites to chambre d'hôtes to simple hotels.
For me it was also an intense French course.

From Agen to Montbéliard: long, tough day into headwind all day. Plus big problems w my hard saddle and hurts so much. Biting through but at end I was really exhausted and prob also had a hypo.
Some stops along the way looking at impressive abbey and cloitre in Moïssac, an "elevator" for boats which does not run anymore and others. Passing also Montech and in evening sun to our beautiful place in monbequi where large rooms, showers and a home cooked meal awaited us. Super!

Bike Touring 2:57:38 [2] 38.5 km (4:37 / km) +224m 4:29 / km
Day 3 starting out wo fog but nice temps and sunshine. Easy riding along the canal, today w lots of locks and watched several times how water was let down or was filled up to let boats pass.
At end passed 3 locks which ended up on a very long bridge which spanned over the Caronne underneath. Such a marvel to see ships pass on a bridge over a river below!
Pretty and surprisingly interesting city of Agen.

2nd day along the canal de caronne. Started in fog on our beautiful b&b in the Bordeaux vineyards down to la réole and crossing the magnificent river caronne over to the canal w locks. Riding in the mist under thousands of sycamore trees lining the canal was a mystical experience. After a Picknick lunch on a touristy side trip to see a church (UNESCO historic site), the sun was out. Beautiful riding until damazan where we rode around quite a bit to find our gite at 6:30. Tires by then.

Running 46:09 [3] 5.71 km (8:05 / km) +24m 7:55 / km
A quick run close to home up on Planeyse and 2x1 k on the woodchip track. Gorgeous day with a great view of all of the Swiss Alps again.
Still not up to par with my health, sore throat now.
But packing my bike to head off to Bordeaux tomorrow and on Friday start riding the Canal des 2 mers along the Garonne to Toulouse.
