It was a mixed nightmare and really good day. Managed around 80 miles (from a village called Lor to Pargny-sur-saulx)
Start very early, the morning view was beautiful on the long stretched french roads. Went to a very posh McDonald’s, you can only order from the self checkout and internet.
Sam had a puncher when we were in the middle of nowhere on a countryside lane, we have to repair the inner tube in the middle of rainstorm, because we didn’t bring any spare inner tubes with us!
The sun come out afterward and the Champagne countryside is amazing, massive green or yellow flower fields and blue sky, very hilly roads – perfect driving condition.
Found a beautiful campsite right next to river, but we thought going for a beer first and then come back picth the tent. The pub landlord offered us camp behind his garden after knowing our trip.
How kind of the landlord! Champagne sounds lovely! I don’t suppose you have tried any Champagne yet? I say grab some to celebrate how well you are doing!xx
Are you likely to pass a bike shop?!!

Should have written vive les Francais. Hope your French is better than mine
Sam – did you leave the inner tubes behind to keep the weight down?
