The last ride south of the Loire

Roadkill is what cars do. The ultimate killing machine
1200-ruins
Discovering the old Chateau de Res. Whatever is left of it.

THere used to be a waterway under the chateau. A very smart design, there is a lake nearby. It was easy to connect it to the chateau with a small canal.
1200-tires
I’ve always used the Marathon tires. Even though they are not as fast as the sleek Kojaks, the Marathons are super strong and super reliable.

‘Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.’

1200-oiling-bromptonThe Brompton must be oiled for the winter. Until the next year it’s going to be stored folded and greased.

Razor taxi

My route:  board the TGV at Montparnasse to get to Poitiers.  At Poitiers, there’s a little local train to  Montmorillon. And I still have 16 kilometers to get home. No public transit!

Pour aller de Montmorillon à La Trim, j’ai utilisé ce scooter des enfants. Il fonctionnait très bien.

Solution: the little red-wheeled Razor scooter!

It worked very well. This is my travel gear at Poitiers.
