Day two

Yesterday the temperature got to 22c
Today I dressed for warmer weather and set off at 10am with Gap programmed into the sat nav. This way I would get a relatively boring ride and make distance then join route Napoleon at Grenoble. Today was 350 miles. I'm not going to do that again, is to tiring and I arrive at the destination not wanting to walk far. Having said that I wear a band which tells me how far I've walked and riding the BMW adds steps on it so I did 14000 steps today without getting off the bike.
I passed through the champagne district with its beautiful factories all trying to out do eachother.
I was glad to get off the toll road and enjoy real twisty roads for a couple of hours. Even though it was 23c The bike was great and I followed the locals on sports bikes through the real twisty mountainous bits.
The map might be better from today as I've connected maps to find penguins.
I've had the BMW GS 1250 six months and had gone further in the last two days than the previous six months.
I'm going to pick somewhere about two hundred miles away tomorrow for a rest.
I took a photo at one of the service stations where I met a man who is also half Maltese. We had a good chat.
I stopped to take a photo in the Alps then another here in Gap.
My hotel is in the centre of Gap opposite the railway station. My bike is safe in an underground car park. All is good 😊Leggi altro
