riding along le seine to foret de senart

the plan was to get to fontainebleau (following the itinerary in: http://mayq.com/Cycling_out_of_paris), but i got lost a few times (the senart forest is amazing) and after 69km it was getting a bit late, so i ended up getting to the town of evry to catch the train back to paris... i'll try again tomorrow

riding the canal de l'ourcq


riding the canal de l'ourcq, originally uploaded by pedalturista.

i rode from place de la bastille on the pistes cyclables along boulevard richard lenoir, canal saint martin, parc de la villette, out of paris, and then along the canal de l'ourcq, through the parc de sevran, passed villeparisis, all the way to claye-souilly, and then continued on to trilbardou. 90k there and back. i wonder how far the path along the canal goes on for. i'll find out sometime soon...
