We had 'chicken'n'chips last night, and attempted to eat what we would not be able to carry. Heavy rain again through the night, but it did stop as we set off.
But we soon stopped to put on waterproofs as the rain got heavier. We passed Blois on the other side of the river, great views and the rain stopped.
We had lunch at Cande-sur-Beuvron, many more cyclists about, then we remembered it is Sunday. Most of the route has been good cycle path or small roads, but early on we had a rougher section, that with the rain made it treacherous, very slippery, which with laden bikes is really awkward. Jenny came off once, but no problems , and we had some sticky moments. We stopped in a Spa hotel at Mosnes for a drink before heading up the slopes of the vineyards on a loop that would bring us to Amboise. It was great to get a bit of height and the views were worth the climb. The plan was to get a hotel in the town in order to visit some of the main attractions. We just got into the hotel before the heavens opened, though the sun is now shinning again.
