Riding, riding and more riding (are we in Yorkshire?!)

Five more glorious days have passed in France and on four of them I was out on my bike. In fact I had cycled eight days in a row befoore deciding to have a 'rest day' yesterday as the old legs were starting to feel a bit fatigued. Was also getting quite alot of stick from the trouble and strife, even though none of my rides have been beyond the two hour mark. So yesterday spent alot of the day laying the foundations of a deck with my son Lawrence instead (he is very talented at that sort of thing), before heading out for a lengthy meal at the Commerce restaurant in Mirepoix. Today felt refreshed and recorded my fastest average speed all year and also went past my total mileage for last year! Finished a hugely entertaining biography of the late John Mortimer too, as well as finding time for an evening stroll with Mrs M to keep her sweet.
