Today’s ride on Komoot As I’ve mentioned, breakfast was fantastic and we said goodbye to all of the families and headed straight back to last night’s restaurant – where we were unable to pay the bill last night. They took cash only and we haven’t struck this before, so we promised to come back this …
Today’s ride on Komoot There aren’t many photos today. Probably because it was grey and dull and possibly because the area wasn’t particularly inspiring. It was far more industrial, but with some great paths to follow. I left the nice Airbnb in Lausanne and rode to the station. Dennis was getting a train from near …
Winterthur to near Konstanz – escaping Zurich and the rain Read More »
A very cold day today. We were up in an alpine area so it was no surprise. We had a long downhill to start with and that promised to be uncomfortably cold. As we left the apartment it started to rain so we hesitated and it stopped almost immediately. The downhill was absolutely freezing but …
Today’s ride on Komoot Hills today ! Yuk – and I awoke feeling the worst I had for some time. I would be a snot factory again today. Luckily Dennis was well in front of me and out of range as I struggled up the hills in the latter part of the ride. Another lazy …

Today’s ride on Komoot When I woke up, I was feeling like my head cold was returning, and as the day wore on, I was sure it had. By the end of the day, I had deposited mucus over most of Burgundy 😁 Luckily it was a flat day with lots of easy bike paths. …

Today was destined to be cold, and it disappointed – it was really cold. Last night’s Airbnb was great and we headed out after some breakfast and goodbyes from Natalie and her son. What absolutely lovely people. We had a coffee and the day’s first pastry in town after a very chilly and short downhill. …
Pont-sur-yonne to Monténeau – great fun despite the weather Read More »
I left the strange hotel after a nice breakfast and a chat to Minou, descended the goods lift to my bike and headed out. It rained immediately, and that’s the worst way to start any day – cold and wet. After some suburbs, the recommended trail went through a forest and a number of rural …
Today’s ride on Komoot I spent yesterday afternoon in Amiens which is a very nice city with a huge cathedral, nice places by the river and a thriving pedestrian mall in the centre. I woke feeling very tired and still full of my headcold. The sun was out when I left the hotel and that …
Today’s ride on Komoot The morning went like clockwork. The night before, the TV wasn’t working and I’d spoken to a lady in the lift who had managed a room upgrade as a result. I negotiated breakfast in the nice looking restaurant. Unfortunately, it was everything that english food used to be twenty or more …
