Just over 60 miles today Haucourt to Cergy-pointoise which is about 40 km outside of Paris. Once again the weather was stifling in excess of 30 degrees all day but cycling along you create your own breeze and we made excellent progress after leaving La Chataigneraie at 9:00. We could not find a lunchstop open anywhere so settled for a Jacobs lunch in the shadow of a village consisting of a strawberry energy shake a flap du jack two maple biscuits and a bag of energy beans. There was a cemetry further up the road where we filled up with water and recited "there is a greenhouse far away" ( one of the graves had a fitted glass greenhouse around it). We eventually found a patisserie about 3:30 for ice cold coke sanwiches and egg tart. Final stop Ibis hotel in the centre of large town for the World Cup Final tonight. Sports Bar here we come .....after a cold shower.
