Today's ride was way better than yesterday, I started the day with a nice sleep in, a breakfast of mostly croissants and a trip to the museum nearby. It was located in the bunker which was the headquarters for the French Forces in World War II. There was loads of information and display items for … Continue reading EU Day 70: Riding Dunkirk (FRA) to Bruges (BEL)
Today's ride wasn't great, I was lost for the first half, among the rolling hills. Every wrong turn sent me up and down extra hills and I ended up climbing twice as much as I needed to, plus 11km further. My original directions sent me to a highway which was closed and I unsuccessfully tried … Continue reading EU Day 69: Riding Boulogne-Sur-Mer (FRA) to Dunkirk (FRA)
Another day of rain, but at least there was a day off afterwards for me to dry off. I managed to find a bike shop around the corner and reattached my rear brakes, so it was time to roll. The tailwind pushed me the whole time and the route was pretty much a straight line. … Continue reading EU Day 67-68: Riding Berck (FRA) to Boulogne-Sur-Mer (FRA) and rest day

I saw grey clouds approaching from the east, going in the same direction … Continue reading EU Day 66: Riding Dieppe (FRA) to Berck (FRA)
I woke up this morning feeling dizzy, similar to what I experienced in Gotse Delcev, Bulgaria a month ago. I still haven't figured out what the cause is, but after sleeping in until nine and seeing the stormy weather, the train seemed like a good option. The 8km ride to the train station didn't take … Continue reading EU Day 65: Train Rouen (FRA) to Dieppe (FRA)
This was meant to be the 127km ride, it was rainy and I was prepared with plenty of food and water, even using my back up camera so I could leave my phone in the waterproof bag. It rained before I even left the apartment, but it couldn't be worse than the stinking hot days. … Continue reading EU Day 64: Riding Paris (FRA) to Rouen (FRA)
I was so excited to wake up this morning, Chris and Frank gave me a bunch of ideas of what I could check out and all their suggestions were in TripAdvisor's top 10 activities. We started off with the Museé D'Orsay, a massive museum across the river from the Louvre (seeing that tomorrow so I … Continue reading EU Day 62-63: Exploring Paris
