Rouen

The rain stopped while we were enjoying a hot chocolate so we spent the rest of the afternoon drying-out.

The ride after Muids was through beautiful, rolling countryside which gradually went uphill so we were effectively climbing for about 10miles. This culminated in a big hill (not a patch on Chain Hill though but I had just cycled further than I have ever done in my life!). The pay-back was a very long descent down into Rouen with spectacular views but unfortunately nowhere to stop and take photos.

Total for the day is 136km and a total cycling time of 5hr 23min. Tired but happy, especially as we got back just before the rain started again.
