Welcome BACK to the Loire Valley! In case you missed the first two episodes, I’m cycling 100 miles or so from Orléans to Chinon on the Loire à Vélo trail. I’m visiting castles, drinking wine, showering with dish soap on a houseboat, birding, and washing off my imposter’s syndrome to embrace French luxury.

Great! Now you’re caught up. Enjoy the last stop.
