Lille to Reading

Lille to Reading

Thursday, Jul 19, 2001

@ Adrian Tritschler

Thoughts on Lille — for the first time in France I seem to have seen lots of beggars and homeless people. Maybe it’s just the first time I’ve been in a big city, maybe I just haven’t noticed. Two-star hotels, kebab shops and sex shops. Maybe I should have tried to move further away from the train station. A big bustling city, certainly lots of construction around the two stations. French police uniforms suddenly struck me as appearing very functional, Australian and British appearing more symbolic by comparison.

Rain, more rain, then a little more rain. A fine day to be leaving the mountains. Amazingly, we all managed to get up in time for the 8 am start, crammed everything and everyone into the van and the car and drove to Grenoble. A bizarre feeling sitting in a car and watching the world go past without having to pedal. Almost as bizarre was listening to The House of the Rising Sun playing on the radio … in French.

dst. (km) Today 39.3 Trip total 3159.8 Odometer 85.2 We left Vaujany around 10:00 to ride up to l’Alpe d’Huez. Some chose the route via Bourg d’Oisans and the main climb, the rest of us headed up to Villard Reculas and then around the side of the mountain to Huez. The unfenced vertiginous drop off the side of the road was too much for some, Richard flat out refused to ride on the right hand side and sidled along the wrong side of the road, hugging the rock walls.

The stomach pains and poor sleep lasted the whole of the rest of the night. This morning I feel a little better, but very weak, not having eaten much for the last two days. On the plus side, it has stopped raining and the fog looks like it might clear up.

There were assorted bad dreams, I nearly fell out of bed a couple of times, and I’m still feeling quite bloated from the meal last night. Skipped breakfast and stayed in bed, watching the rain. Around 10.30 am I walked up the street to see what all the noise was about that had finally woken me up.

The first 30km just flew past. Boulangerie and bicycles in St. Julien de Lampon We stopped for pastries and coffee at St. Julien de Lampon and were served by a very grumpy lady in the bakery, then back outside were we sat in the square and watched as other cycle groups passed us in both directions.

Debra kept trying to embarrass guys by flirting with all the guys in the pub and making jokes about her exceptionally large bust. I’d met Nick and another Welsh guy a few days ago in Nantes, but didn’t recognize them at first.

Somehow the sign telling people not to turn the shower up too high just wasn’t getting through. They were going to the beach for the day and invited me to go with them. When I got to the station it all started to look too hard, the trains too infrequent, so I changed my mind and sat down to have a coffee.

I got in earlier today and paid my 160FF to take my chances on the winery tour. It turned out to be more of a chateau drive-by bus trip, with two winery visits thrown in.

Perfect weather for cycling. The bad news is that my cold is now much worse, probably bronchitis judging by the coughing and spitting! Fantastic weather to ride in, cool and a light mist, so little that nothing stayed damp, just enough to keep me cool.

At lunchtime as I neared Rochefort I saw that it was another 160km! Decided to make for Saintes instead, and only just made it there, during the afternoon the temperature just kept on climbing, around 35 °C I guess. I found a bike track this morning that ran from La Rochelle to Rochefort, but as with bike tracks everywhere it didn’t seem to have enough signs and I managed to lose it a couple of times.

Stinking hot again inland, later in the afternoon it cooled as I got the sea breeze, but there were then 30km of head-winds across “Les Marais” which I think translates as “the swamp.” A flat, smelly, and very uninspiring ride! It took me almost an hour and a half to get out of Nantes, I kept having to avoid motorways and zig-zag about, never seeming to make any headway.

After getting out of bed and queueing for breakfast with hundreds of French school girls all on a school holiday trip, I headed out at 10 am along the minor coast road in the direction of Mont St. Michel. I hadn’t realised how far it was, so it was 64km and 1 pm by the time that I got there, very hungry and hot.

Once there I found a broken spoke, on the cluster side of course. Probably as a result of over-changing and dropping the derailleur into the spokes. Rode back to St Helier and tried all three bike shops, all were too busy to change it.

…The Owner

There’s not much more I can add to who I am.

…The Site

Vanity site? Technology experiment? Learning tool? Blog? Journal? Diary? Photo album? I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you…

I experiment. I play. I write and I take pictures. Some of the site is organised around topics, other parts are organized by date, then there’s always the cross-references between them.

Its all been here a fairly long time. Like the papers on my desk, or the books on the bedside table, the pile just grew… and it all grew without much plan or structure. I try not to break URLs, so historical oddities abound.

Long ago it started as a learning experiment with a few static HTML pages, then I added a bit of server-side includes and some very ugly PHP. A hand-built journal/blog on top of that PHP, then a few experiments in moving to various static publishing systems. I’ve never wanted a database-based blogging engine, so over the years I’ve tried PHP, nanoblogger, emacs-muse, silkpage and docbook before settling on Emacs Org mode for writing and jekyll for publishing. But the itch remained… I never really liked jekyll and the ruby underneath always seemed so much black magic. So now the latest incarnation is Org mode and hugo.
