Current Location: Paris, France
I arrived into Paris yesterday after 4 days of riding. It ended up being a little bit harder than I had anticipated due to the fact that there is a very persistent wind that always seemed to be against me. Add to this that it’s been a while since I’ve been cycling and not all the muscles remember what they are supposed to do, it’s coming back to me though. One thing I’m quite happy about is that I haven’t had to walk my bike up any hills like I did during the Pacific Coast ride, although none of the hills compare in any way to those on the Pacific Coast.
This is just a quick post because I’m actually going to move on from Paris so that I can meet my friend Gina later this month and properly hang out in Paris. So the plan now is to head up to Normandy and cycle around the area there looping back into Paris again.
I must say that I had an amazing meal in Paris when I arrived, I’m not sure if I found it amazing because that is what it is or because I’ve been living off of baguettes and cheese while on the road. But whatever it was it was truly amazing, the sauce was so very rich I don’t think I’ve ever had anything like it.
The bike is holding out like a champ, I’m really quite happy with what I managed to get for 300 pounds and I think my uncle Bill and Rob would approve of this one. It’s a Koga-Miyata Worldtraveller and it comes fully tricked out with Tubus racks, a Brooks saddle, mud guards, Shimano SPD peddles, and lights. I think all those accessories alone come out to probably 300 pounds really quite a deal I think.
Written 3 days ago, I am somewhere in Normandy near Caen.
