Blustery France
A good ride down into the heart of France via the A12 to start with, warm, sunny and humid. We hit rain just outside Arras, but soon dried off. Stopped just south of Arras, and met quite a few fellow HOG's on the way to Lugano, and saw he huge R.V. trucks one with a Custom Road King strapped to the back !! Later, we peeled off the Peage,and ontoward Vouziers where weather changed to really hot, humid, stormy and great storm clouds were brewing. Then, the wind picked up and we were riding thru' French farmland dotted with Sunflower fields blowing furiously in the wind. Fallen branches in the road, causing us to weave between them. Thanks to Peter's SatNav, we made Chez Teasha (Les Islette) in the nick of time before the heavens opened. Milage today .. 233.
