Day 2 on the Big Brother Ride

Yesterday was downright stupid. We should have called the ride off at lunch time and got the train to Newhaven. We couldn't see, couldn't generate any speed and cars couldn't see us. And it took 9 hours to ride 55 miles. Utter stupidity. I'm amazed we're all still alive. The Premier Inn has won some new fans. The ber was cold, the food was good, the water hot and the bed comfortable. Can't ask for more than that in a budget hotel. The weather is looking better today. We're about to get a ferry to Dieppe - a little town in Normandy that was the basis for all of my high school French lessons. I can't quite believe I'm finally going there. We then join Avenue Verte, a disused train line that has been converted into a 35 mile cycle path to Forges-les-Eaux. If the weather holds, this should be our easiest day on the bikes. I might even get to take some photos. I'll write again from France.... Pier la cycliste
