7 - Rest Day in Troyes

May 27
0km

Today we gave our butts a rest. It was also pouring with rain for most of the day, so we were happy to be indoors. Spent most of the day in the library, since the local cinema only had French movies. The library only had a few titles of English literature. I selected one by Scott Adams.

During breaks in the rain, we explored the old city. There are 5 huge cathedrals in the old city, which seems like overkill to me. The narrow cobblestone streets and timber framed shops gave the city a lot of character, even though it was pretty touristy.

With nothing useful to write about, let me give you a list of everything I have with me right now:
1 Bike (with rack, rear panniers and trunk bag)
2 cycling shorts
1 cycling shirt
2 cycling socks
1 pair of cycling shoes
1 cycling pair of cycling gloves
1 cycling helmet
1 pair of cycling sunglasses
1 rain jacket
1 pair of pants/shorts
1 shirt
1 pair of socks
1 pair of sandals
1 hat
1 camera
7 maps of France
Standard toiletries
Bag Balm (cycling butt cream)
