Along the Maas / Meuse River, upstream

 This time we’re riding e-bikes. Ye-gads! It’s taking me some time to adjust as they are heavy, I am heavy and the panniers can get ver heavy when I need to lug them up two flights of steep narrow stairs. Good cross training though. 

Left Maastricht in lovely weather, a relief after the rain the day before when the bikes were delivered. It was so wet that we went to see Barbie. Lots of things to think about in the movie and laughs galore.

Day 1 ended in Huy, then onto Dinant and today in Haybes. So far 176kms. Getting through cities can be challenging but otherwise the path is generally benign.

It looks amazing. Looking forward to reading your blog of the trip and enjoying a bit of vicarious traveling.

My feeling about e-bikes is that they aren't worth the trouble. My riding partner has a Reaction and lifting that fucker over fences during lockdowns was an effort!
