Did the 100 miler. Up at five, on the road at 5.40 for some miles in (pleasantly cooler conditions) before breakfast, back to Eijsden at 8.15 or so. Off again at about 9.45, heading to Aachen. Saw signs for the Drielandenpunt and made the detour, was worth a visit. After some not-comedy offroading, on to Aachen (reached the Hauptbahnhof at 1.30 or so) and an Aldi Süd lunch before turning SW. Not long after Kelmis, The Thunderstorm. Thoroughly saturated, I considered bailing (66 miles on the clock). When I eventually found some shelter looked at train options, at least when the phone intermittently responded to my sodden fingers. Headed towards Plombieres. My speed picked up, the weather turned for the better, I dried out, mostly, so I kept going. After many little diversions for extra mileage, back to Le Bonheur with 100.4 miles done. Garmin recorded the ride, then locked up when I next turned it on. It recovered long enough to get the ride data off before conking out again. A warm night on the windowsill seems to have restored its health though. Phew!
Rest day today
