On the flat

Having spent the last 12 years zooming round France and Europe on a motorbike, I was a bit disappointed when we moved to Nantes as it, and the surrounding countryside, is flat.

Having only take up cycling in the last 18 months,  I have had to review my position as flat is much better on a pedal bike!

Just come back from a week cycling round Angers.  At a confluence of three rivers it gave some beautiful and interesting trails to explore, not to mention a different boulangère to try each day for their lunches and  pastries (fuel!).  Got to hear  hoopoes, but could not see them,  but saw two kingfishers and two golden orioles. Got a great app on my phone which IDs bird calls.  Only an hour up the road from where we live, but well worth exploring.
