Sunny September canal ride

This glorious weather we've been enjoying — in the U.S. we most respectfully call it Indian Summer — has allowed for summer activities to continue into autumn.

The Canal de Garonne, dates from the 19th century. It is the extension of the Canal de Midi running northwest from Toulouse to to Castets-en-Dorthe near Bordeaux.

Here are some photos of a recent bike ride along the Canal de Garonne.

One of my favorite places to ride is along the canal — probably because of the lack of hills. I'm envious of my friends who have ridden the entire Canal de Midi, as well as many other places in the world. Where's your favorite place to ride bikes?
