The caravan is nutty. These odd floats had just decended about 1000m on tight wet roads that were challenging enough on a road bike.
The rider is Heinrich Haussler (spelling not checked), the eventual stage winner & brother of one of our tour companions, amazing.
We are in Ensisheim France tonight, tomorrow we ride out for 40km to
join the Tour route for the last 60km over a few decent category 2 & 3
climbs.

I am getting closer to getting the hire bike (carbon synapse) dialed
in, but am very much wishing I was riding my own bike. I wasn't
thinking that though as the bike copped a bucked rear rim from being
shunted by another rider on our 'easy' 40km shake down loop, nor when
hearing of 2 other personal bikes that were badly damaged in transit.
Having trouble with GPS & internet connectivity pretty much since we
landed and are on the go constantly (& loving it) so have given up on
tracking routes or updating :-) Can't even upload pics at the moment,
might try later?
Having a blast and am loving living the dream thus far.
Au revoir
Apologies if you get sea sick easily :-)
In no particular picture order, pics from
Digs MTB (29ers rock), roadies, trail running, endurance racing, adventure racing, camping, pushing my personal limits ...
