Day 37 – 14/05/13 - Total so far 2192.8km




Valence-en Agen – Agen



36.7km, 2hrs, 32mins, 232 total climb

We got up late as we only had 40km to do, ate a quick breakfast and pedalled the 20km to the bike shop in under an hour!

The guys there spoke no English (I thought almost all young-generation spoke English these days?) but were super friendly and helpful. Charlie was the guy's name and he knew exactly what I needed, a 36 spoke wheel (unusual number of spokes, used for heavy duty MTB and touring wheels) and could get one ordered up for me, plus, they could build the wheel. Awesome. Also, they recommended the same wheel that I found online and liked, so happy days.

I left my details and he would contact me as soon as the wheel arrived.

We set off again through Agen to find the campsite on the other side. The campsite was great, 15 Euro a night with WiFi and even a 3.8m deep swimming pool. We were going to have a few days off!
