Day 6







Reims to Paris. This was at one point going to be a final day onslaught, 90miles through the country and blamming into the Paris Banlieue's. It was raining cats and dogs and some more so we grabbed a train and relaxed our weary limbs. Fueled with cheap sweets and more fast food, we jumped back on the bikes and descended upon more rain. When we entered the city limits, out route took us down the Canal D'lourc which was amazing. A graffiti hall of fame lined river with dark water and lots of industry around that seemed to have people everywhere on it. Whether it was cyclists, walkers, kids playing, immigrants living or us marvelling at the sight. We went back to the same hotel F1 as last summers ride but approached it from a completely different angle which of course meant for more getting lost. The shower at the end of the day was bliss. We then went for another Kebab in Montmatre, passing plentiful 'women of the night', drugdealers and other very non touristy types.
