Ooh, tarte flambée in Strasbourg! And Munster cheese. And knack d’Alsace!

Flapjack..

If on the continent then


Wow every half hour!
I stopped every hour on Leeds Liverpool canal ride and I felt it was too much.

Every two hours is my usual on tour.

Just a Belgian buns or banana or something.. beer and crisps us another good one.

Apparently I am no longer a ‘spring chicken’, and experience has shown that’s what I need to do to keep the pedals turning. While I didn’t object to ‘re-fuelling on the go’ if I was doing a triathlon, if I’m out for a few days I do have the time, and like to ‘stop and stare’.

You'll have to step up that game if you ever want to ride La Savoreuse, (if they ever start it again): 60km, breakfast at the start, 5 feed stops, hot dog at the finish!

Munster cheese

Still vividly remember, on my very first cycling tour, 1991, somewhere near Strasbourg.

As was our custom, my friend and I sat down on a bench for the usual lunch of baguette and cheese. This time, Munster cheese, which we unwrapped...

... and the guy on the next bench for up and walked away!

It's a treat for the nose, for sure.
