With 2020 being bit of a trying year decided to take things easy and have just a quick trip in June. Few nights away not far from home but even though, there was plenty to see and explore. Very warm period but we survived intact!

1st meal out since you-know-what (over 3 months!). Love random roadside stops... esp when they turn out great!
Thursday 25 June 2020
Beautiful sunrise ride to avoid forecast heat. Rolling hills & shady forests actually made for perfect conditions
Thursday 25 June 2020
Second ride of the day: short cool down with Pratiwi, who also tried #HaySurfing for the first time Not bad!
Thursday 25 June 2020
You've seen sheep, cattle, etc. in a field squash into the shade of a single tree/hedge, yes? Snails are the same
Thursday 25 June 2020
Climb on foot up to Cordes-sur-Ciel was worth it even in today's scorching heat! Beautiful medieval village in Tarn.
Thursday 25 June 2020
Oh look... a beach... and we're nowhere near the coast! Lovely spot by river Lot, Causses du Quercy National Park.
Friday 26 June 2020
Saint-Cirq-Lapopie perched above river Lot. Very impressed by this beautifully preserved (& clean!) medieval village.
Friday 26 June 2020
Lunch in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. Beautiful place & v.toasty today so we chose a super shady spot... & the large beer!
Saturday 27 June 2020
Above the River Lot: a veritable motorway compared to some cliff-edge roads we travelled in Norway so no worries!
Saturday 27 June 2020
Chemin de Halage: aka. a towpath cut into cliffs along the river Lot. Good idea as it makes for a nice shady walk.
Saturday 27 June 2020
Look for 'fancy' restaurant in Cahors but v. busy Saturday, so end up in a backstreet bar. Prolly more fun anyhow!
Monday 29 June 2020
Today's ride: Back on cliffs above Saint-Cirq-Lapopie because... why not? Few drops of rain a welcome refreshment!
Monday 29 June 2020
Stumbled across Indonesian restaurant in Cahors. Someone's very happy! & yes, 2 peeps/3 dishes (+dessert) does go!
