May 26th
62km (486m vertical)
Short day today. We've got a rest day tomorrow, and Troyes was the closest big city where we though we could amuse ourselves for a day.
I took us on a series of small back roads today, instead of the main highway. It was great...much lore like the France cycling I remembered. With nice weather, we rolled though vast stretches of open fields, and through tiny towns with old stone buildings. Ideally we could find similar routes for the rest of the trip.
Troyes is a large city, with a touristy center inside an industrial ring. After some shopping around, we settled on a 2-star hotel in the center of downtown.

Hi Daniel;
Al appears frugal...not cheap [but the geisha look certainly seems to tip the scales to cheap vs. being sensible with one's money!].
Returning to Boston for your graduation [4 days] will do your butt good. Maybe you can suggest that Al keep cycling ahead in your absence...you'll catch him soon enough upon your return.
Be certain to provide daily entries when you are back as a Havard graduation must certainly be as eventful as a day of cycling.
LFL
...uhm...that's Harvard!
Hi Dan! It's so great to follow you through your blog! I'll make sure I put one up before we start our trip, athough I know I won't be as good as you with the daily entries...
Loved the way you described the new found roads. Hope you are enjoying the ride and you take many pics to show us back in Boston,
Best
Diana
