Thursday. Lamboing. Left around eleven. Blacksmith. Near perfect weather after some apparent dampness earlier: partly cloudy, mild, less wind than yesterday. Easy day, mostly in the upper valley. To Nods (885 altitude), then a beautiful little road along the bottom of the ridge through Combes connecting to the road to Le Chasseral, up from Enges. Left for a bit of descending, then right toward Enges. Great views of Lake Neuchatel before the descent through town. Some struggling vacationers riding up the other way. Hard left at Le Maley, then Frochaux (altitude 627) and on to Lignieres. There, a right turn onto Le Chatillon, a narrow but paved road that for some reason bans cars, motorcycles, and, apparently also bicycles, "autorisation ecrite excepte." Nobody bothered me, because hardly anyone was there, at the opposite side of the valley from Nods and Diesse. Left at the end, on the Preles-Diesse road, then right, back to Lamboing (altitude 820). In the news reports that NATO will send new Patriot systems to Ukraine expeditiously. May it be fast indeed, and may it be the beginning of more rapid shipments of other stuff.
