La Charité-sur-Loire to Gien

Levees and canal towpaths. Asphalt and compacted gravel. Roots and potholes. Flat and boring. Left at 6:09, arrived at 11:23 — could’ve been earlier if I hadn’t blindly followed La Loire à Vélo. Unnecessary meandering.


Today in numbers:

86 km — distance cycled
35 % — of Gien’s old town destroyed in June 1940 fighting, give or take, with more lost to 1944 bombing
