That's it, the drop in temperatures is very real. With an average of 14°C, long sleeves are bearable and passages in direct sunlight are fine.
After the morning mists, which are frequent in the Somme valley, have cleared, a short tour of some of the surrounding valleys (Ancre, Hallue, and Somme) was a

With a great sky like today's, it was hard to resist the call of a trip in the region to discover some paths or roads I didn't know yet. And I was not disappointed!

Decidedly, humans can't help but throw their trash anywhere, especially out of sight 🤬. It's becoming tiresome to find illegal dumpsites when there are recycling centers practically everywhere nearby, open almost 7/7 and accessible for free. We are supposed to be a civilized country, apparently...😞

A light drizzle joined the party upon arriving at Picquigny, but nothing too serious. We were able to achieve our goal for the day in good spirits despite everything and had a very good time on our bikes.

This morning, I felt like revisiting the Selle valley, which I hadn't been to for a while.
Between Loeuilly and Wailly, the road is currently blocked for, supposedly, a "communal event" (?). It looked more like a branch trimming operation along the road. What a shame because I had mentally prepared myself

During this unpretentious little outing, it didn't take more than that for the computer/GPS to act up, refusing to record the cumulative elevation gain (0 M) and the ambient temperature since, as the screenshot shows, it remained stuck at -18

The poor waterfowl of the Grattepanche pond are looking for shade since their pond will soon be dry if nothing changes. Alas, the return

Since I was a bit lazy to create a new track before leaving, I therefore re-exploited an existing route.
