Anjou was great fun although our average was 4kmph. It was the first time I have had to walk down hill, due to a pinch point, 2700 riders and the first drinks stop at the bottom.
The 2 vineyard stops plus the lunch stop with a bottle of wine slowed us too. But who cares lovely day loverly people and best of all loverly bikes to look at. we also had virtually closed roads to ride on with marshalls and or police at every junction. The cars that we did encounter gave us plenty of room and always let us go first. We passed a gypsy camp and thought we was bound to get some abuse but none of it, they stood at the side of the road clapping and cheering us.
