Day 14: Paray-le-Monial to Montchanin

July18

The ride was beautiful today and I am very thankful that only the first day had rain. There were a lot of racers out today, I love getting passed by old men on racing bikes. A nice guy named Jeffrey road with me for a bit, he is training for a triathlon and teaches at a school for the blind. I think he actually lapped me a few times :). Some crazy nice chateaus along the route too.

It has been two weeks of biking every day… and tomorrow I am biking up to Beaune to stay there for a few days and take a break. After that I have one more ride up to Dijon, I stay there for a night and then go meet my family at the train station! I can’t wait to see them :)

This is bwb’s personal blog, so he can share his thoughts with the world, however scary or silly they might be. Plus family and friends can track what I am up to, and where I am in the world.

I am pretty simple. I love Mangos. I love the ocean (although mostly at sunset, as I’m a ginger). I love to travel, eat exotic food, do long bike rides, read, and use my imagination. At some point, I decided it was better to be a pirate captain than an admiral. I am a globalist and see the entire world as my responsibility and playground. And I am married to an amazing woman who makes life even more fun :)! And we are now the proud parents of Calico Jack :).
