There hasn’t been too much to write about for the last fey days, so I apologise about my lack of updates…but I haven’t been on the bicycle…as such – there are no stories of the road for these few days.
We have taken a few days off in Montpellier so that Jerome can rest his knee. I hoping tomorrow to get back on the road and do at least a short ride so that we can get moving again….I tend to start to feel quite stagnant when I stay in the same place for too long.
The first two days we stayed with Franck, Karine, Hugo and Tom – a family that I met through friends in Oregon (thanks Susan!). Franck has spent lots of time in the US so it was great to speak to him about his experiences out there…always fun to meet someone that knows your home town!
Last night and tonight we are staying with old friends of Jerome’s – also artists, that run a ceramics shop in town.
It’s been a nice and very lazy few days…we went to an art gallery, bumbled about town, and just generally enjoyed wasting time. There isn’t too much more to say other than Montpellier is a beautiful city…I am also really enjoying the Mediterranean climate…everyday is sunny and low 20’s Celsius…really perfect weather…so I hope it holds.
We’ve now got about 500km of coastline to cover through Marseilles, Toulon, St-Tropez, Cannes, Nice, Monte Carlo and more…should be a good route.
I think Jerome’s knee is getting better, although he keeps his discomfort mostly to himself…so we’ll see how he gets on. Will be nice to start working the mileage back up again.

You’re back?
I did wonder where you’d been/gone?
If I show any more interest in your blog, then I’m going to start to look like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction!
Glad to hear Jerome’s knee is getting better.
