Leicester to Paris Day 4: 5th April 2010 Abbeville to Beauvais

By Em

Miles: 57
Average speed: 9.9 (it keeps on getting lower and lower…..)

Route: D901 Abbeville, Poix-de-Picardie, Grandvilliers, Marseille-en-beauvais, Beauvais

We set off again at a good pace but lost our average speed because of some big hills. Mat and Anna were ahead of us and Charlie behind. He decided to do some sightseeing in Abberville. We have seen plenty….. the kebab house and ‘Abbeville by Night!!’.
Dan seems to motor up the hills with his hybrid and I don’t seem too bad on my new bike. I am loving the new bike, it makes such a difference and I love the colour!
Hels is battling along still, despite the fact she is still not feeling 100% and is quite wheezy.
Really nice sunny stop at lunch time and a coffee stop. Only a couple more hours and we arrived in Beauvais and treated ourselves to a beer. Met up with everyone else and headed to The F1 Hotel, on an industrial estate. Dan’s French speaking is coming in very handy, so we got directions from a couple who came up to ask what we were doing.
After the traditional French Kebab last night we went to the traditional French ‘Bufallo Grill’!!
