      My tip would be to visit an Elzas town if you haven't seen one before. For example, Obernai, Eguisheim or Colmar. Groetjes uit Den Haag!

      The region in and around Avignon, Pont du Gard, St Remy, Arles and Avignon itself is beautiful. I rode down from Cherbourg to La Rochelle and then from Bordeaux across to Toulouse. In the Lot region above Toulouse and Albi, all great cycling areas.

    Apropó Maudi techs, years ago I closely knew a photographer with four Leicas in his vest, making stunning aesthetic pics, who had no clue about the thechnical side of the camera, nor even bothered about and is not the only one. So I guess this leaves us with the question how good Maudi is as a. bikepacking rider. I am sure highly experienced.

    How come flats always come at the worst time, and why is it always the rear? I don't do presta valves any more, they are too finnicky to pressurize, I bet that's why Maudi had a hard time pumping... Schwalbe tubes with the stainless steel Schraeders are my fav now, they hold air amazingly, they are a bit thicker, less wierd seams, and the valves won't develop pin holes or cracks on their sides . They even smell like REAL rubber. Of course USA shops never carry them, so I have to get them from the UK. Chain Reaction Cycles had the best deal. Totally worth the two bucks more if you haven't tried them yet. Ditto on the "ups and downs". I do need to get another two day tour in before it gets really cold . Another stupendous video , Allez!.

    It’s not unusual to see big industrial complexes in France and Germany along major rivers, canals and railroads. It’s because these waterways and rails provide a means of transportation for inputs and finished products. Along the way, the rivers are also very picturesque when they are not occupied by factories.
