A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.
Volcanic Plain
12.27, there were great, expansive views over the volcanic plain and suddenly the climate and the vegetation seemed to be changing.
Solignac
13.47 - I stopped for lunch in Solignac, and, initially I'd thought I'd stop here but the campsite was closed so I had to press on.
The owner of the bar had said he had no food either but when I pressed, and he realised I was on a bike, he rustled me something up. I needed it, I was starting to tire.
Downhills
14.17, lunch over there was a fast, curving descent out of Solignac.
Chadron
15.07, volcanic plains, hills, and ravines - it was good riding in spite of my growing fatigue.
