Yesterday's ride. My last of this long trip. I parted with Fiona in Frankfurt, took the train to Trier and decided to ride from there to Sedan. I decided to hand navigation over to Google, suggesting cycle route and quiet roads. The results were interesting - it took me on a minutely wiggling almost straight line, with the result that it ploughed through almost every landscape/geographic feature.
I went out of Trier on the river path beside the Mosel, on beautiful cycle lanes in Luxembourg, through a 2km long sandpit, across genuine pavé, through forests, along actual rock-strewn (much bigger than gravel) tracks, into overgrown hedgerows and through what seemed to be a storm drain. Anyway, nearly 100 miles later I found myself in Sedan, having travelled through Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and France - all into another exhausting headwind. Un oeuf.
Home today by train and ferry. Looking forward to getting back.
