Loire cycle ride for cancer: good and bad moments

Attractive château just to the north of Le Puy en Vélay

Much of the Loire Valley is beautiful, although there are times when its flatness becomes a little monotonous. I didn't have much time to stop to take photos, although I did take a few.

 Not the best moment!: at the top of the climb over the 

Saint-Nazaire Bridge over the Loire.

Narrow, unguarded cycle lane some heavy traffic

Good when you get sucked along but not so good 

if you get sucked under the wheels!
