you're always packing and unpacking welcome to day six of cycling to switzerland we're
heading to sun god in verbiage so far we've got a ferry from england to the netherlands
ridden all the way through the netherlands into france back out of france through belgium and
now we're back in france again or something along those lines today we have 150k to do and
it is moist ben it's got a dodgy tummy i've gotta tell me i've taken every tablet and alka seltzer
and i've got toilet roll with me it could be one of them days
welcome to day 66. now i don't want to curse things but we've got a tailwind
the ground is wet the sky is dry gravel the road this morning we're on for 26k it's super smooth
except for that bit of gravel we've stuck chris on the front making excellent progress i can see
a square bush square we're all in good spirits despite the fact that ben has a funny tummy and
we're looking forward to some nice easy k's today no drama nothing going wrong no rain fingers
crossed and just like yesterday some lovely country roads all through northern france are
we still in northern france we must be mid france now i've never been so happy to not be in the sun
i feel as if chris i've got off very lightly with the present that you've got me
yeah very lightly he's the lightest ball i've ever had he's really happy he's keeping me going
it keeps you guys happy i can't see him
24 hours seven days a week pizza flag wow your french is good so cheers for comments sir oh
so the guy inside can see you so they're making it
oh no tomato base on that is there they didn't have a vegan one be really careful when you
take out the oven because those metal bits are seriously hot i've burped my fingers drawn some
not with my stomach i'm just gonna have one slice
i've gotta be honest it's not as bad as i thought it was gonna be it's actually all right
that might have alcohol in it we've found a proper french patisserie we've created a
big queue behind us sorry everybody let's see it's a bolognese roll it seems the last one
left so i thought it must be existed when in france you have to at least have one original
this reminds me of three reminds me of going on holiday to france little fact that uh youtube
doesn't know about me i think i'm actually half french my mum's french i don't speak
any french well more than these guys i can get through a shop experience that's about it yeah
i can't order a pizza from a vending machine apparently i had to put it in english three days
but we always used to come to france every year when i was little visit family and
generally have a very nice time in dinar if anyone's ever been there i've written it
but we're more friends with me at the moment that's probably good she's very yellow down
i don't think you can do two five second rules in a row no last time i ate stuff off the floor
in a video i was very sick i ate some jelly beans at the start of a i dropped my wall on the floor
not doing that again what is that
is that like a sample wait did you buy that where's that from oh it's inside the box right
okay i thought you found that on the floor obviously salad dressing isn't it it's like
a sample of stuff you'd take to a doctor oh you've done well that almost looks like real food we've
all been craving vegetables and fruit so this stop we actually have bought some vegetables and fruit
and a smoothie to top it up hopefully that will make me feel better i don't know if
there's anything you can do to make yourself feel better though if you're doing this much riding
i'm taking it back in did you just buy that no i'm taking it back in yeah i did it just broke
just said to you this is going to be my forever backpacking vlog we haven't left the car mark

bit of surprising thank you definitely on purpose gravel you guys are okay you got your gravel tires

the best room to have hey i didn't suggest that i had the single room first
welcome to bike packing in luxury on the left you have the uh greenhouse
and on the right you have the pool i'll go to the gym it's nice but it's kind of like the
