Final run into Paris (part 1)
Well, the miles (or kilometers) are in the bag - all 3550 of them. We hit the road early from our campsite down on the Loire and put in 142 fast kms with the wind mostly at our back across the plains of the region up towards Chartres. We packed the bikes onto the back of the camper and are, as this is being posted, heading up the motorway towards central Paris to finish the last couple of kms with a parade lap of the Champs Elysees. The celebrations are on hold until then but it sure feels good to have safely completed all the miles and succeeded in achieving the goal we set ourselves all these months ago. More later…
