Reminded me of my tour, when I overnighted in Huy in happy ignorance that the next day would be the best and worst day of my life on a bike.
The notes below capture my mood pretty well
Not a very pleasant day...
- Wind gathered force and I was riding straight into it.
- First encounter with another cyclist, he passed me and I caught him up which helped morale and gave a break from the wind.
- Over the border into Holland
- Lunch in Valkenburg, getting ready to host a tour finish. Only food was cake so had cake and beer lunch.. not the best for nutrition but again helped morale.
- Got lost post lunch but eventually found Maastricht and all its cobbles.
- Hard going to Huy. Had to pause on outskirts of town to shelter under a bridge as heavens opened.
- Huy very grey and worryingly devoid of hotels but eventually found one.
- Evening meal in an Irish pub
