Todays ride on Komoot Let’s start with an apology for there not being many photos today. There wasn’t much to photograph. I really just wanted to get to the terminal and onto the ferry. Reluctantly, I got ready for my last little ride in Europe, this morning, however, I decided to enjoy it. I followed …
Today’s ride on Komoot Last ride in Europe ! I’ll be sad to leave, but I’m looking forward to the next part of the adventure. Every day now, I seem to get slower and lazier as it all winds down. It’s a short, flat day of 35kms with a small town along the way. I’ve …
Today’s ride on Komoot What a terrible night’s sleep ! I remember every minute until 12am then every minute from 3am onwards. At least I got three hours. The culprit was a guy who was an absolute snoring machine. It wasn’t high quality, but it was consistent, persistent and loud enough to disturb everyone in …
Today’s ride on Komoot There was heavy rain last night but my gear and I were very dry. Even the tent dried out overnight as there was plenty of wind. It was also noticably cooler. I had the down jacket on again this morning when I finally got out of the tent. I’m going to …
Today’s ride on Komoot I’m definitely winding down. Yesterday was Sunday, so I didn’t have enough food for breakfast. No problem, usually every place has an open boulangerie. Usually, but not in Corbie today. The only option for breakfast was the Auchan supermarket. I wasn’t in the mood to make breakfast. Last night I discovered …
This morning was very cloudy and it felt like it was about to rain at any time. With a short 50kms to Noyon, I decided to enjoy the morning and relax Municipal campgrounds in France are cheap and the facilities are usually really good. This one was no exception. I charged up my phone in …
Today’s ride on Komoot I took it easy on my rest day in Reims – or I couldn’t call it a rest day . I looked around town and in the afternoon, I did a champagne tour at Landon Champagne House. I’m not much into champagne, but when in Rome … (Eat pizza ?) The …
Today’s ride on Komoot Today was full of some pretty flat canal riding. It was really relaxing and probably good for me as this leg of the trip winds down. Leaving Vitry-le-François, I made the now obligatory stop at the local boulangerie, and through no skill of my own, chose a very good one. Second …
Today’s ride on Komoot On paper, today looked very easy – slightly downhill and on paved surfaces, and about 65 kms. In reality the first part was easy but the second part was along more difficult surfaces, and overall it was pretty hot and boring. It was a forced slow start due to the dampness …
Today’s ride on Komoot After yesterday’s almost constant rain, it was a relief to see a completely blue sky this morning. Nancy is a nice city, but I haven’t seen it at its best. I was up fairly early looking for a baguette so I could make my lunch which would be the same as …
