First days in Normandy

June 17

Long day – 75 km. We decided to go the long way because it was all on a disused railway. It was indeed flat…until just after we started to go the long way.

June 18

66 km today. Much easier!

Riding through history. Every km has a story to tell. For the 75th anniversary of D-day there are 4×5 ft photos all along the Eurovelo 4 cycle route with stories of the various battles, the towns involved and in what way. This particular region was covered by American troops.

WWII Normandy photos. June 6th to August 12th.

Lunch in Saint Lo

Old viaduct repurposed for bungee jumping

Meet Norman of the Normande breed – Bos Taurus. (His buddies call him Freckles)

I’m sure there was supposed to be a little bolt here… M fixing her bike.

Leaving from a really nice gite in Sourdeval.

Stairway to heaven
