So have you caught the cycle touring bug? Where to next?
Coin operated bicycle wash? WOW!

It was in an area popular with mountain bikers, for cleaning the mud off. Didn't need to use it myself.

Caretaker, yes, that tent is huge for one person! I bought a big one because my girlfriend is going to join me in future tours. I have no idea where I'll go next, but I just bought a proper bike for touring (a Revolution Country Traveler '14), so I'll definitely be doing a route soon! (By the way, looking at the pictures, that trip to France must've been good fun! )

Thanks, bradtx! Yes, the food is one of the things I liked the most.
