After three flights, a bike ride, and four trains we made it to Auxerre France, our starting point for this year’s trip. The whole process was pretty long for one day, and as always, I am nursing a small pulled muscle from the train transfers. We have met up with our good friends Bruce and Marge who will ride with is for the first three weeks. The weather is not good for this week, but the wine cheese and company are excellent. Nous sommes bien installer dans le Masion des Randonneurs à Auxerre.
