Saddle Sore Loser

We’re out of the city! I love Paris but cycling among the heavy traffic is a little terrifying.

We rode South about 37 miles along the Loire river on the “Euro Velo” path. This trail is super nice and mostly off the roads, with little signs pointing you in the right direction. We did get lost a couple times right outside Paris before we hit the Euro Velo, but luckily Kyle has his little GPS so we know generally how far off track we are.

We’re currently in a tiny town/suburb called Moulignon, a couple miles away from the large town Melun. Someone (me) made a rookie mistake and thought that putting lots of mileage on their brand new brooks saddle instead of little bits at a time would be fine. It was not and we cut today a little short because I have giant saddle sores 💀 oh well!

We went and grabbed dinner in the little town and one of the few things open was an American Western themed restaurant called Buffalo Grill. The place had country music, pictures of cowboys, and a waiter who fled for help when we asked if he spoke English. Along with bread we were served an interesting take on a south western salad and a random bowl of plain popcorn.. not sure how American it was but still good!
