Last night was very warm, and this morning it took very little time to dry our tent. Today was once again forecast to be very warm so we planned to cycle just twenty-five miles along the canal lateral a'Loire. Before leaving Never's we took advantage of the free coffee on offer which we drank whilst taking in the view of the city. The cycle along the canal was fungi heaven for John. He was allowed to look, but forbidden by Angela to take any to eat. The canal cycle allowed us to take in the wildlife and dry our washing at one of our stops. At Decize we met up with some of our fellow travellers from Never's last night, including our Swiss friend. We all pitched our small tents close to the communal room as a storm is expected to night. We spent a pleasant evening eating and talking with our fellow cyclists. English, French, Swiss, German, American, our different languages did not impede us sharing stories, experiences and advice. We have missed the social side of these cycling trips, you just don't experience it in the camper van community. The French cyclists have warned us of rain for the next two days, hopefully nothing too severe. We are sure we will meet up with some of them again as we continue towards Basal.
