Since the weather recently has not been very good, with some rain but also often with strong wind, I have not been able to do trainings as I wanted.
Here I want to share two trips I have completed above 100kms:
to Chartres: this is one of my favorites tours and I try to repeat it at least once per year
to Gisors (parc of Vexin): this is also one of my preferred tours because it is on the way to Dieppe following “Paris London” cycling itinerary.
Here are few pictures from my tour to Chartres: the weather was good but with a pretty strong wind from the North that made my way back quite hard!
In front of Chartres cathedral with few people asking many questions!
View from below the panels….
here we can see how small looks the bike in front of this Cathedral, one of the most beautiful Gothic masterpieces in Europe!
Quick stop on the way back….to get some rest and repair from the VERY strong wind.
…..peaceful place but still 40km to go back!
Here are some statistics:
Distance = 160 km
Average speed= 30 km/h
Altitude gain: 1012 m
Solar Charge: 1028 Wh
Peak charge: 280 W
Consumption: 566 Wh
Wh/Km = 3,5
And here some pictures I have taken during my last tour to Gisors: the weather was fair, cloudy most of the time and for half way with a pretty strong wind from the North West….
…so I need to get off the bike and to push/pull several times 😡
Here I am on the itinerary “Paris London”: very nice bike path but….almost impossible to pass !!!
….here I am almost over this stupid barrier
Luckily I was able to tilt the solar panels to get through 👍
….and after few minutes I could finally go through and continue my tour!
A very nice guy, Fabrice, took this picture: he made a world tour with his rollers !!!👍
Here I am almost at La Roche Guyon, we can see the Senna river on the back….
Thanks for your appreciation, it makes me really proud!
All the best!
WoW this is super cool.
^^ be safe on the trip my friend
