On October 1, 2008, we (Jack, Susan and our friends Mary and David Winter) took an early morning train from Paris to Brive-la-Galliarde. We then made our way by car to Gramat. There we met Romilly, our ATG tour manager. The next day we started our Freewheeling bicycle trip from Gramat to St Céré---four days on bikes, with two extra days spent at Rocamadour and St Céré.
