Cycling and bathing au naturel

Everybody that says that the North of France is boring, is crazy. You just have to be on a bicycle to enjoy the spectacular sights! Today was a day to relax and recover from the tough stages of the past three days, we only had to cycle 150km with any real challenges.

Therefore there isn't much to discuss about the cycling itself, except for the fact that it is a lot easier (and safer) to ride in France. One part of the group rode at at a steady pace, the slower group decided to take it the easy way. The culmination was a bathing in the local creek. This was looking a little disturbing, eight naked cyclists splashing water at each other and one American who was taking photo's.

Anyway, the pro peloton would be jealous or shamefaced if they would have spotted this, however today was a day for cycling tourism.
