Yesterday's snow had melted, the headwind had eased, but it was still cold enough to warrant all layers including full leg protection. Overcast, low cloud, almost no rain.
Continued following the Rhine across the Alsace plain on nearby French back roads. The Rhine embankments are not paved here.
After 50k left France at one of its 6 corners, where the Rhine becomes a German river after being an international border for the prior 500k portion of this trip.
Later:
Fell in with three dutchmen from Maastricht who run a barge on the Rijn between Rotterdam and Basel. Together we toasted Will's Alkmaar birthday.
(84hrs full power up, 48hrs steerage only power down)
