South Reims

When I left home at 09.15 this morning the temperature was 9c. The journey to the euro tunnel train was as expected. Busy and the roads are typical of England these days with plenty of pot holes even on motorways.
In contrast the beautiful almost empty roads of France are a delight to ride down.
I'm just south of Reims in a Campanile hotel.
While waiting for the train in England I met two bikers who had ridden from North Wales. Amazing coincidence, first they stopped at the same service station on the motorway and I never saw them on the road and now they have just parked the bikes next to mine at the hotel.
Tomorrow is a long ride to lake Constance in Germany near the Swiss border.Read more
