Left London three days ago with 2 friends riding to Marseilles. So far we've made it south of Reims, been quite flat but have had chunks of undulating terrain, so im hoping I picked the right gear ratio for the mountains ahead (45 x 17), although spinning down 4km of between 4 and 6 percent today was tough. Today was spent tasting Champagne along the route and the next few days should be filled with wine of the Beaujolais region. Will write it up properly when we finally reach Marseilles.
