Montalivet-les-Bains


Up at dawn and was happy no one asked me to move on.  I needed to head to the northwest if I guessed Cindy’s route correctly.  It was Sunday and I had not gotten food.  In town there was no shops open but I spotted a flea market and someone had a basket full of croissants for sale.  The gods were good to me.  Most of the day was on road riding, till I came across a bike path through the woods going my way.  It was nice to be back on a quite path.  After 75 mile I was where I thought Cindy could camp.  I was off by 28 mile when I found an internet connection.  I headed north on a very narrow bike path through the wood along the coast.  At first the bad spots were small and I could jump them.  Then the sand traps got bigger and I had to push the bike out of them.  I was trying to get to the campground by nine hope it would be still open.  There were signs warning the bike path was not recommended because it was in bad repair.  I just raced on thinking oh shit when coming up on the bad parts way to fast.  I mad it to the camp by nine and the tracking system lead me to her exact camp.  Good to see her smiling face.
