After posting the blog had a great ride along the Voie Verte had a photo opportunity at Cormatin which is as pretty as any Loire château. Onto Cluny for the promised demi bouteille of St Veran and back on the road when everything went wrong. Being clumsy with the gear changes Richard managed to break the chain on his bike and although Oli had his chain tool we managed to damage that as well. Cycled back to Cluny to the bike shop to find that they had closed for the day (at 3pm!) and there was not another bike shop within 40 miles. With the help of a couple of Frenchmen in lycra... who originally stopped to borrow a pump... we managed to fix the chain and carry on to Villefranche. Survived the day with some very expensive but very very good hazelnut chocolate from the patisserie at Cluny!
