A Long Cycle on the Absolute Last Day of Summer

Waking up this morning I felt that I should really do something as the expected temperature was 28 degs (in October!!) and this would truly be the last day of any summer weather. Then I procrastinated for a while, before faffing around and then wasting some time. Finally around 10.30 I decided to get out on the bike and cycle North as far as I could go and just see where I ended up! I did, in the back of my mind, have some idea of reaching the holy shrine that is Arsene Wenger's Pub - the one where he grew up as a boy in Duttlenheim. I seriously didn't think I would get that close though as it's around 140 km away. However with a reasonable tailwind and beautiful weather I managed to cycle for five hours and managed 132km in the process. A Logis de France near Erstein was the perfect place to rest before a short route to Strasbourg tomorrow.
