August 15-23, 2009

Route:	Augsburg – Paris – Blois
Distance:	9,14 km
Elapsed Ride Time:	1 hr.

My very first extended bike trip on my own! Nine days cycling through the countryside of the Loire Valley, visiting chateaux and enjoying the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of rural France.

Instead of a linear tour, I chose to use Blois and Tours as base cities and took day trips through the surrounding countryside.
