Another 70 miles day in a 95-100 F degrees. But it did not feel so bad – maybe I am getting used to the heat. Also I’ve noticed that if I keep the heart rate around 120 bpm I do not get tired of riding. It is easy to maintain that heart rate because the area is mostly flat.
Today route passed some really nice and old towns. Here are the pictures:
I am planning to reach the Switzerland border on Sunday. The town on the border is called Basel. There I’ll decide whether to continue EuroVelo 6 or do a detour via Switzerland Alps.
I found the same trick of watching my heart rate on our early trips too! It is amazing how accurate it is. Just stay hydrated and eat enough carbs especially in the heat!
I eat a lot of carbs and I think I am still losing weight. That’s one of the benefits of the bike touring 🙂
