Our First Day on the Road

Strausbourg to Saverne. Heading out of town, we rode mosly biycle trail and bcycle lanes. Nice to be away from traffic. It as cold to start Glove weather, with no gloves is always hard. It happens at this time of year! We rode towpaths along active cannals for a good part of the day with an occational lock with boats waiting. Nice to see them so active. The cannals we have been along in differnt parts of Europe seemed to be unused, We had a little rain followed by the Sun coming out for only a second. Cloudy and jacket weather all ride long, The more we traveled the more open it became. Large open pastures with corn and root vegitables, The Farms didnt seem huge, but still very active. The group we are riding with are all very nice experienced cyclists. A few have never been on a tour before. They seem to know what they are doing and are fit.Fun to be with and jokes and share stories. I think this is going to go well, Two weeks will tell Here are some of the photos from todays ride:
