Day 9-10 24th-25th August

Romilly to Troyes 25 miles
A short and rewarding day for the dynamic duo. The going was flat and smooth, riding next door to the river. They did so well they arrived in Troyes for lunch. The weather was perfect and it's the first decent day the've had since setting off which was extremely happy making.
A day of rest on Monday when they will have the bike serviced, a bike shop has been found. The poor old tandem is suffering due to the adverse conditions and a quick overhaul is required to prevent any problems later. Gerard says he is slathering the moving parts in lubricants but it's starting to squeak. Troyes Cathedral, with it's outstanding Stain glass windows, is going to be visited for some divine inspiration or indeed intervention. Hopefully the next few days the weather will be kinder.
