Ride: 78km; total: 713km
Fine sunny, 8-24deg
A great ride out of town on a quiet Sunday morning as we
head back the way we came to rejoin the Rhine Route. We enjoyed flat, smooth, canal paths for the
whole day. Had coffee and morning tea at Sunderhouse, next to a very old weighbridge
and church. Most of the buildings were medieval and they had dressed up
the place beautifully with masses of flowers. Such pride and effort is
appreciated by us foreign cyclists.
The last 50km into Strasbourg
was completed on a practically dead straight, sealed and immaculately
maintained bike path next to a canal. What a pleasure to be in a country
that takes care of their cyclists, runners, walkers, rollerbladers, etc.
Strasbourg
is the home of the EU Parliament so some exploring tomorrow before heading
north again.
The weather has been great since Graham’s arrival.
