A Change in the Weather

Day 26 – Tournon-sur-Rhône to Montélimar, France — 60 miles

Today was another gorgeous ride along the Via Rhône bikeway. It was one of those perfect riding days: sunny, warm, and with a slight tailwind. It felt like a perfect summer day. The scenery seems to get even more beautiful as we head south.

We’re getting spoiled with these hill-free, mostly car-free rides, but we’re enjoying them while they last. As we rode into Montélimar, the sky began to darken and clouds rolled in. You could see the storm coming—the one we’d been expecting. It’s going to be a doozy, so we plan to take at least one day off, and possibly two, depending on the length and severity of the storm. Montélimar is world renowned for having the best nougat in the world—so it looks like we’ll have time to find out why.
