I'm Wingin' It

The hotel restaurant is shut later but plenty of other places in town so will go for a wander later.
Sunday evening - they’ll all be worn out and shut. You might get a takeaway Kebab!
 
Been awake since 0400 ish with nerve pain so going to make an earlier start here in the foothills of the Pyrenees and skip the free breakfast which isn't till 0830.
The only forecast rain of the trip is possibly due late afternoon today so might beat it.
Heading over the Pyrenees into France today.

First time I've really ridden Wing in the dark

Done over 1200 miles since I left home so resynced the DCT box.
Didn't really need it but gear changes are now virtually undetectable and like a hot knife through butter!

Had a giggle today.
Rode up to Azay Le Rideau as was too early to check in at Chinon.
Saw the chateau through the trees but couldn't be arsed to go in and pay so this is the best pic I got.😀

Had a great ride on the way there.
Very open roads with no hidden cameras.
Stuck the mighty Wing in Sport mode and it's hangs on to each gear until the red line (at 6000).
By the time it snicks into 7th you're doing 110 mph, obviously on a private road. 😃

Now in Chinon.
At least the fuckers can't hide their château !!

The owner is called Maurice, which made me laugh.

Stunning old place with spiral stone staircase hidden away in the old town .

If I have to stay in a hotel, that is what I am looking for, beautiful place.
