Woke up at 5:20 am and left the campground at 7:25 am. It takes me 2 hours to get a breakfast and pack everything. Will try to wake up earlier tomorrow as it will be even hotter than today.
The ride today was mostly alongside many canals which are located on different levels and connected by the locks. There are sometimes several yachts at the locks in a line waiting to transfer to different section. Some canals are actually on a bridge that is over a river.
Stopped by at a local super market to buy lunch and it did not have any parking places for bikes. So strange considering it is located right on the EuroVelo route.
Did a short and easy ride today because of the heat and because the further part of the route does not have any campgrounds for a long stretch.
46.9 is a short ride? Hahaha, I’m lucky to get in half that right now! Enjoy every mile!
I’ve read on forums that as you progress through the bike tour your fitness improves. It seems to be true. You’ve probably experienced it too.
