Continuing the Towpath Route

Continuing our bicycle ride along the towpath, we made our way towards the next locks of St. Martin. The towpath became a little rocky; and at one point, there was a detour along a field of vineyards. We didn’t mind though, because the scenery was lovely. 

As we neared the locks, however, Leonard got a flat tire and had to push his bike about a quarter-mile.

Linda volunteered to wait with the bike and board the boat at the locks; our boat would be coming along in about an hour.

Leonard and I decided to keep going by bicycle and meet up with the group at the town of Trebes, the day’s final destination. We waited with Linda for a while under the shade of some trees and then continued on our way. Other bicyclists had gathered here for an afternoon nap and lunch break.
