Day 2 Mulhouse to Montbeliard

Day 2- To Montbeliard

Cycling 92km along Euro Velo 6 following the grand canal was very pretty, very hot, very tiring😂 

What was interesting along the Canal were the locks, I'm alway fascinated by locks. The locks had teams of lock keepers that we saw driving in cars or scooters between locks to open them for boats.

At the start of the day we were going up hill against the locks, which was quite tiring but towards the end of the day the canal changed to downhill, this was the nicest reward. 

Along the way we met an Irish women cycling from Istanbul we chatted with her and missed our turning and had to cycle back almost 3km🤪

Then near the campsite for the night we were oven taken by a sporty young couple speeding past on nice fast bikes,  but we arrived at the campsite before them because somewhere they got lost and they asked us if the campsite had been sign posted, but who needs signposts when they have GPS Christoph😊. The couple were really nice and worried about us because that night it might rain and so they offered us shelter if it got too bad, that was nice, but a bit worrying,  luckily no storm came, just annoying bugs and midges.

2 beers later, everything is easy, lentils are cooking.
