After a dry night under a farmer’s roof I set out into the rain. I had to reach Joigny sur Meuse today because in Brussels I’ve met Claude and his wife and we agreed on a meeting on May 7th in the evening.
I think I cycled nearly the whole time on a road forbidden for cyclists - but nobody cared, not even the police! At the middle of the day I took my headlights and put it on the bike pointing to the back. After that all cars overtook me with a great distance - great! (secret tip for touring cyclists 
The GPS gave me the shortest way but didn’t care for the hight meters. When I left the N51 I got stuck in the Ardennes and at the end of the day I had made 1400 meters in hight!
After 126km I arrived at Claude’s home at 21:30 and we had a French dinner prepared by his wife and daughter - delicious!
The Ardennes area has been really wonderful nearly not traffic, much green everywhere and perfect for mountainbiking. Unfortunately I didn’t have the chance to take pictures due to the enduring rain and the tight schedule.
