Pleasant but a tad hot day from Rencurel to Bourges , routing direct avoiding autoroute except for adding in this section of the D995 between waypoints 2 and 3

As it was shown as a green route on Michelin map between Saint Just en Chavelet and Bellerive sur Allier.
And it was ace .

Stopped for coffee and to buy a baguette for lunch at a boulangerie and leant back on a metal chair , which promptly snapped and sent me flying backwards

And they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?! No idea what they’re talking about

I didn’t think it was that complicated or subtle?! lol
Maybe need to revert to more slapstick humour.

No cow at all in a calzone

Indeed that would be perfect

Just a good bit slower than the super scoot!

Wow. I wonder if pasties came to Cornwall with my ancestors, the Hugenots?

Just been chatting with Alena, the hotel owner about the new security barrier . There was a spate of thefts last summer in Vercors by a gang from Grenoble . Thirty four bikes stolen including two from here . She was told that they were ALL 1250GS/GSAs !!!
The gang have since been arrested .
I mentions her dad used to leave his keys in Ducati Hypermotard , and she says it would have been fine as they were only targeting specific GSs!

Eeeeeeeeek security barrier needed at the Hotel Marronnier - not good.

Lovely evening

Though I’d rather be sat opposite my wife than a tyre shredding slap head

A great place to watch the sun go down on the mountain.

It wasn’t a pasty

It was a calzone pizza . My little joke , seeing as we were at an Italian restaurant and I said the French call it a pastis. Which I thought at least some would know is something a tad different.
I’ll get me coat

Well, I did wonder because I've always had a pastis before my meal... with water not lemonade! Ricard too, not that other imposter.

Presumably there’d be less of a need for it, if bods had applied even a basic level of security in the past and not skimped on the butter.

Stopped for a coffee after banging off 60 miles .
Nice village with cracking old hotel
