Feeling lucky with the weather so far as its still dry. A few days back, there was an indication that I would have a wet ride. There has been head winds all the way, but since Port en Bassin, its warmed up quite a bit.
Shorter ride of 72 KM today. Mostly flat with a dip in the middle
This was a fairly rapid ride along a “D” road. For most of it, the road had a separate bit on the side for bikes. As I crossed the border from the Calvados Department to Eure Department, the road surface was not so great. Over many years of cycling I have seen many examples where I can detect a change in jurisdiction as I cross borders. Clearly Eure needs more road budget!
As I approached Evreux, its back to cycle lanes for about 7 KM.
The Greet hotel in Evreaux has a cycling theme. The recycling of old cycle parts is the way to go. Nice free beer on arrival (I am an Accor gold member!). What is there not to like?
