Well, technically, the German, Swiss and French countryside. But since we were in Germany for all of about a mile β it was mostly just the Swiss and French countryside. After leaving Eurobike on Friday, we meandered up to Zurich that evening.
We figured it was an easy place to get a hotel for the night before our drive the next day. Note: We had originally planned on camping our way back home β but two caused a wrinkle there. And secondly, it poured for three days straight. No fun there. We spent the majority of Saturday wandering around Zurich.
Sorry about that. From there we drive north west towards Paris, but not quite all the way to Paris. Mostly, our drive looked like this:. It was pretty though, and the tiny town we stayed in was equally quaint β especially when we woke up in the morning and it had stopped raining. From there we planned a short minute drive up to the Orient Forest Regional Park, which is a fairly substantial two-lake recreation area. Each lake is probably about miles in length, and a mile or so wide.
The goal of our time there was to get in a nice Sunday workout, as well as get a ton of product review shots down for a bunch of products that required either open space, or open water. Despite our home in Paris being all of a dozen yards from the Seine, swimming in the Seine at our location is apparently frowned upon.
First though, our normal workouts. We only had scheduled about 1 hour 30 minutes for our respective workouts. She went off on a run, and I selected to ride. The ride itself was quite nice. The lake features both a path as well as a quiet country road around it. Like most places, more casual cyclists were using the path, and more serious ones the road.
