Arrived France/Provence/Avignon

Was a touch dissapointed leaving Milan - the train was a standard Trenitalia/Cisalpino service - scenic, but not fast.

On arrival at Geneva, switched to TGV - the 'V' is for Vitesse, ie 'fast' but again, I was beginning to think I'd been ripped off - fast ? Nah, only about 100 to 110 km/h. Only when the train got to Lyon (and out of the twisty windy bits) did be pick up another locomotive, then we got the Vitesse bit ... I'd estimate upwards of 200 km/h !!! :-))

Just made acquiantances with my new friend (or foe) for the next six days, had my saddle, pedals etc fitted .....

Tomorrow, we ride .... Chant rsd, rsd, rsd
