St Quentin

Well, another long day on the bike. As i ride south the bike friendliness changes. holland was awesome but if you broke the bike lanes rules you got a honk. belgium had semi good ridding conditions and no one gave a hoot. France has bad roads and so far no real lanes for bikes, just a narrow shoulder, but no honks so far in france. Nice people.

I'm in St Quentin now after riding through some great country. There are definitely some rolling hills in this area. Its funny what i notice when i'm riding. In the US you see bud light and miller lite cans on the side of the road. Here you see Chimay and Duvel which are about 10 bucks a bottle in us. anyhow. Just some mild upper back pain but i plan to get half way to Paris tomorrow then finish sometime Thursday. 

I think i am in the hotel room where they filmed the Scarface chainsaw scene. But i could sleep on a bed of nails right now.
