Pre Christmas lunch with friends

Left the campsite at 9:35, so early-ish for us. We decided to do a longer ride today, as the next campsite at Nevers was a bit close - it would mean another short day. Trouble is, the next campsite after Nevers is Decize at over 50 miles if you follow the Loire cycle route. I decided to cross the river and cut the corner into Nevers rather than follow a big curve in the river. Once there we hoped to find somewhere for lunch. We’d stopped at a small supermarket and stocked up at Fourchambault but have to say Nevers seemed a bit seedy and we made do with a beer and chicken/egg baguette. Once back across the river to the south of the town, it was canalside cycling all the way to Decize. Couldn’t be bothered to walk or ride in search of food after setting up camp so had a riverside picnic - fortunately our supermarket stop included a bottle of red.

Had a mechanical too... my right side pedal bearings collapsed so we had to go off in search of new pedals before finding the campsite.
