We left Lyon in plenty of time and thanks to help from Elodie, found the train station. It was so sad leaving her but I am so grateful for the time we have had together. Such a beautiful person that I’m so glad to call my friend. ❤️
We decided to take the train to Villefranche-sur-Soane to get us out of Lyon and on the path to Macon. We had sought some advice and it seemed like the Voie bleu was a good option. Big mistake! This route is only for mountain bikes IMO. Result = broken bike. We lost one rack bolt and the other sheared off in the frame. After some roadside triage, we continued albeit slowly with me now carrying most of the baggage.
We limped into Macon and the bike shop was amazing. They gave us options and in the end given we have only two more cycling days, we’ve opted for multiple cable ties to try to hold the rack to the frame until we return to Australia.
Not ideal but you just have to find solutions and this was the best option for now. We are on the train line so we will see what tomorrow brings after some sleep for us. We may just jump on a train or we may ride or we may do both.
Keep your fingers crossed for us. Just two more days on the bike.
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
