Started my day of riding in Reims. The day wasn't too promising. Complete downpour, cold......looks like my first day of riding in Dunkerque, France...
Well, since I'm now equipped with Gum boots + webbed feet (you know, ducks...) from my BC experience, a good kick in the butt + a strong Expresso did the job again. Those French Hostels are quite civilised. Breaky included + strong coffee...sweet!
Since there is a god, the sun started to shine around 11AM, strong back wind and all. 120 km, with quite a few hills in 5 hours. Not bad for a fat bastard like me.
Nice campground again! on top of the hill, amazing views, and french bread and croissants from the local bakery....even the French campgrounds are civilised!
Sorry, but my internet time is up. I'll update this day ASAP.
Cheers,
Bart
