    Yeah, we won't be motorcycling much on Sat or Sunday

    riding south west to Troyes on Sunday, which looks less moist

    Ah. We're heading to Bruges on Monday. Likely to be damp

    I have packed spare gloves[1] and a waterproof over-jacket.

    If it's rubbish weather on Saturday I'll just have a wander around
    Sedan.

    Sunday will just be a "grin and bear it" 200 mile schlep up to Dunkirk.
    I'm glad I booked the ferry for the return as it will be a chance to
    get some food, chill and (maybe) dry out & warm up a bit!

    [1] Although they're very old so unlikely very waterproof[2]
    [2] The rain always gets in at the cuff anyway, whatever I try.

    Well you know that forecasts are less reliable the more days ahead they
    are made, it could all change by Friday.

    Riding west for Le Shuttle. Looking well moist.

    Saturday is already looking a bit better. Quick trip to Belgium for
    lunch, anyone?

    And Cab, Jeremy O and I did exactly that. Ardennes hairpins are
    definitely one way to snap oneself out of a massive hangover.
