Cycling For Softies means that every morning our luggage was collected from one quaint boutique hotel and deposited at the next ... All we had to do was meander through picturesque, river-side villages and explore formidable fortresses at our leisure, pausing only to devour a gateau in every château. Because of course, cycling means guilt-free gormandizing. There’s no need to regret a baguette or not nosh that brioche, as you simply peddle off the pounds afterwards.
