La Passerelle des Deux Rives, Sunday 5th June

Toutes à Strasbourg - the final day.

5000 lady cyclists from all over France joined together in Strasbourg to celebrate cycling. Our group cycled 700 km from Paris to Strasbourg and others had travelled up to 1200 km from the south of France. Everyone met up in the Jardin des Deux Rives on Sunday to cycle through Strasbourg and over this famous footbridge into Kehl in Germany.

We were in the front of the parade, and as we cycled back towards the bridge, to return to the park, we could see a trail of cyclists still streaming over the bridge. I pulled in to capture this image.

Don't be fooled by the blue sky! We had some atrocious weather en route, but were very fortunate that the final day was not marred by rain.

Catching up big time at the moment ... after a week's absence!
