August 12-23, 2010
Saumur - Vannes, France
Total Km: 498,53
Bike: KTM Maranello Light 2009
A continuation of last year's Chateau trip, starting up where I left off and heading for the coast.
The first and last two days I traveled alone and the for the middle of the trip, the stretch along the Loire leading into Brittany, I booked a tour with an agency, which meant that my hotels had been booked and the luggage was transported for me. Very nice.
Twelve others were also making the week-long journey, so I had the opportunity to meet some other folks and occasionally ride and dine with them.
