A Year in France 7.0
A few pics from todays ride. Summer is in full swing and the weather is superb.

our local "big" town of Villefranche de Rouergue
the tiniest 700c frame you'll ever see.

Got back from La Rochelle, Saintes, and Pons about three weeks ago, spent one day in Poitiers. I miss it dearly. Thank you Bruce for posting your Year in France series! I can't wait to see your Tour photos.
