Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 is cycle touring in France on Wednesday, 18th-September-2013. Neufchatel-en-Bray to Ressons-le-Long. 110 miles. Bit of a wet night last night. It rained all night and continued for most of the day. A couple of times, I was drying out nicely. Then I’d get caught in a shower with nowhere to shelter and end up all wet again. The day finished with the sun coming out.
Two very different types of riding today. The morning started off with me following the Avenue Verte (London to Paris cycleway), which was nice and fairly traffic-free. I soon got fed up with the twisting and turning of it, though and wanted to go a more direct route, which turned into a bit of a nightmare. I ended up going on several big detours due to the roads not allowing bikes on them. Normally I might have thought about going on them. But they were pretty busy, and there was a lot of spray in the air from all the rain.
