I thought of that while riding my bicycle.

Decize 757km ttt

Now I remember!  This is what cycling in the summer feels like. 

A day of rolling along in the sunshine. The road almost traffic free. The countryside gentle and rolling. After 20k I was off the canal and into the lanes. Definitely my preferred option. 

My only problem was the three hour long siesta which had quite an impact on my plans. But, I coped. It's been warm but not too hot and regular application of suncream has rendered me un-lobster-like (although my knees are developing a very wonky striped effect and my shins are still whiter than white).

Tomorrow should involve more sightseeing and hopefully a more filling lunch than 2 bananas and a twix.
