Mont Didier to Beauvais

An easy day. Mr M called me at 14.00 hrs from a bar in Beauvais where he's staying in calme et confort at the Hotel de la Residence.

An easy ride today. (We've heard that one before!). He'd decided to be a tourist for the day, and was just about to go off to visit the Cathedral.

Tomorrow looks to be quite a long cycle; across the Seine heading south of Rouen, ending up, if all goes well, west of Rouen at the Auberge Rouen (well, it would be, wouldn't it). No Sunday lunch, in all probability as tomorrow is the Fete des Meres in France, so the Restaurants will be booked up with families.

One big plus to cycling in France, as he says, is that the route is broken up every 2 to 3km by a village. Makes travelling far less tedious. (And of course, you're never that far from a bar or a cafe!)
