It’s the UK, fella. Nothing to do with e-bikes tearing up the trails, just the weather. It’s like that for at least 6 months of the year in many places.

Normandy Day 4: Bayeux to Bénouville via Gold Beach, Arromanches, the British Normandy Memorial, Juno Beach, Sword Beach & Pegasus Bridge.
A really nice ride in lovely weather but plenty of thoughts of what once was and how lucky we are.

Normandy Day 2: visits to the Crisbecq Battery, LeClerc Memorial and Utah Beach on the way from Quettehou to Carentan.
Utah Beach is lovely. It’s very sobering thinking how different it was in June 1944.

Normandy Day 1: not a bad ride from Cherbourg to Quettehue via Barfleur & St-Vaast-la-Hogue but the last 15km or so was tough going, mostly uphill and in to a 30km/h headwind.
Showered & settled in to our ‘luxury chalet’ now and ready to eat then sleep.
