Check out Day 2 of the tour diary
here in case you missed it!
Monday 29th August
Today was another pretty short
day in the scheme of things and we managed to get rolling at around 9:30 with
waterproofs and rain covers preemptively on as it was looking a bit grey and
we had some super light drizzle. Off we set through the French countryside on
some fab albeit slightly damp roads.

| The place we were going to stop for a drink... nowhere was open |
After around 70 miles, we stopped
at a small cafe-bar in the small village of Rouvroy-sur-Audry (D978 if you're
interested - it's a great road) which had some Joe Bar pictures outside and
other bike-y type things inside including a Repsol Honda mini replica on the
shelf so I reckoned it was a good place to stop! A drink and a few wine gums
later, we set off again with the majority of the miles already under our
belts.

| Joe Bar cartoons? Think we'll be good here! |

| D978 in the cloudy French countryside |
We arrived at the hotel at around
1:30 which is a nice little 2 star in the city centre just around the corner
from all the cafes and restaurants. The decor is a bit creepy though...
 |
| The bed on the left? Yep, that would be mine |
Our running plan then got
disrupted slightly as we were going to go out for dinner and then watch the
light show at the cathedral but after getting there for 10 and finding a seat,
somebody told us that they just googled it and it turned out the show ran every
day except for Monday.
 |
| Wandering around Reims before dinner |
We've got a day off tomorrow and
a champagne tour planned and then we'll probably have a wander around Reims in
the afternoon.
Daily miles: 111;
Total miles done: 511.
