From Brehemont its a lovely ride through wooded lanes all the way to the village of Azay Le Rideau. Crossing small rivers and through villages it feels you are the only people around. Very few cars on these roads. The route on this ride I would consider ‘rolling’ as being away from the Loire there are quite a few lumps and bumps en route with nothing too stressful to climb. Leaving Azay after a coffee and ice cream you ride back towards the Loire at Savonnieres. passing fields of grape vines and apple orchards the road is very fast riding easily at a steady 30KPH. When you do meet a car they are courteous to cyclists and always leave plenty of space.
Savonnieres is a small river side village with the usual cafés and patisserie shops. The quiche’s are now a firm favourite with us along with a coffee or three at the sports bar.
