Support Race

After watching the Support Race we ambled down to the Resturant that overlooks the Start/Finish line to find that we had been upgraded to a table right at the front where we could watch the build up to the race without moving from our table. The food was a significant upgrade on 2013 (but the same price)!

Morning preparations

Route to Chinon

Coffee (Beer) stop on the banks of the Loire where the sweepstake was drawn

Lunch at Chinon

Return via Hotel de France, La Chartre-sur-le-Loir to Le Lude for Pizza that no one wanted!

Petrol Stop 1

Somewhere a bit south of Rouen on the old Route National

Last stop – Alencon Services

Queuing for Check In.

Ready for boarding.

We were up bright and early for the next step of our journey to Le Mans – by 7:30 the sky was already blue and the temperature was climbing as we said goodbye to the luxuries of the Days Inn.
