Cycling the Dordogne 2011: The Things We Saw (Thursday)
Le Gouffre de Padirac The big event for the Thursday was visiting the giant cave of Padirac. There are very few pictures, I’m afraid, as photography isn’t permitted in the cavern. The Legend The Devil and Saint Martin The devil formed the...

Cycling the Dordogne 2011: The Things We Saw (Wednesday)

Cycling the Dordogne 2011: The Handcycle Shipping Saga
You may remember that I had planned to ship the handcycle back to the US via FedEx at the end of the tour, because we couldn’t rent a large enough car to get it back to the airport. I may have also mentioned that complicating things was the fact...

Cycling the Dordogne 2011: CliffsNotes Version
Everything was great. We made all our flights, the handcycle arrived with us and is still intact, we didn’t have to spend a fortune to ship it back, all the hotels were accessible, I didn’t collapse, die, have a relapse, or even any flats...
