Briançon
... kept on going and were glad when we arrived back. It was a beautiful ride and I was glad we had all been able to ride together for a bit.
After dinner a guy named Daan wandered over to our campsite and started chatting. He was cycling from Amsterdam to Monaco! He had just graduated and asked the company he was hired at if he could start 3 months from later so that he could do a cycling trip. He is a naval architect and was going to ...
