May 2024

When we got back from Spain the canola fields were no longer blooming and spring was past its prime. This year we missed spring it seemed. I still needed a while to recover my strength after the severe infection I had in Spain but soon I was back on my bike for shorter rides and at the end of the month we had another cycle tour planned, this time along the Moselle and Saar in France, Germany and Luxembourg with Susan and Kathleen. Heavy rains and flooding foiled our plans, the weather hasn't been cooperating this year. We met in Metz and still managed to have a fine time together with routes adjusted to avoid the flooded bike paths.

The story is in my journal.
