The weather continued to give me a hard time like yesterday,not only it rained but also came with a strong head wind blowing directly from the northwest sea coast of Normandy, fortunately it was just a shower rain and still rideable with my raincoat on. Slow but still steady.Started at 9.45 am on Road D929 to Clermont,D916 to St -Just ,Breteuil and Conty on D920. Not really in mood to take pictures under such weather. I had to camp early on a campsite that has firewood to cook. Confirmed the pump cup has worn out and torn beyond repair .No spare part to replace. Set tent 5 km to Poix
