July 23, 2022,🇨🇵Nach Les 9 Écluses de Fonseranes und zurück🇨🇵

Last bike ride for this vacation. From Vias to Beziers to the 9 locks of Fonseranes.
Followed a few pacemakers along the way.
First an e-bike, then 2 "gerbils".
Then 31 plus km/h were required. 🤪
Of course I left them all behind. 😆
Visited locks, shot one or the other photo and had delicious ice cream in Vias.🍦
