You never know how the day is going to turn out.
I was feeling somewhat tired as the last few days had taken their toll and decided on a short day so I could spend the afternoon in Strasbourg. But I woke to the sound of rain and the forecast was for rain on and off all day. It’s one of the joys of cycling. So I got all the wet weather gear out and went out. Being a Sunday nothing was open so I couldn’t even find a coffee let alone breakfast. This will strike two. Finally as I was crossing over a bridge, my front wheel got caught in a rut and yes the bike and I parted company. This was Strike three.
However, apart from my ego, nothing much was damaged and the weather gods decided enough for the day and stopped the rain. The rest of the ride to Strasbourg was really rather pleasant thru a catherdral of trees.
Now Strasbourg was a very welcome surprise. Quite worth the visit.
Tomorrow I leave the Rhine and head towards the Danube – over a few steep looking hills….
