First trip with the new (secondhand) Birdy Green - that also has different panniers
There was a little glitch with the front brake this morning (I’d accidentally dislodged a brake pad) so I had to pedal manically to Südkreuz
The massive rucksack is getting dropped off in Nuits-sous-Ravières today 😊
SNCF!
Let's build high speed lines all over!
Also SNCF!
Let's put ridiculously long dwell times at our stations!
TGV INOUI 2239 I am taking later
Do I understand it that you cannot buy tickets online for Rodalies Catalunya? There are no sales in the app, and no sales on the Generalitat de Catalunya or the Renfe sites
And I wonder what there is in Latour de Carol-Entveitg (or La Tor de Querol-Enveig as Rodalies calls it) - because as it’s in France will there be a machine there?
Anyway as the timetable is so damned bad I have 2 hours there tomorrow morning to figure it out :-)

I have to confess I always buy at the station.
I only went to Latour once, as most trains stop in Puigcerda and it is quick to ride with the bicycle between those stations.

@cdamian btw this is what I am doing Thursday evening: https://www.komoot.de/tour/1144431185 It's a bit peculiar as I want to go investigate some broken night trains, but do come along if you wish :-)
tops@jon you will be cycling along Avinguda Paral.lel, so named as it is parallel with the ecuator. (It looks like you will be crossing but not riding on Avinguda Meridiana.) Back in the 90s I once ventured to a spot in the middle of the Aragonese desert to find where it intersects with the Greenwich meridian. I must have a photo somewhere but no idea where.
@tops ha that’s funny. I wasn’t award that’s why it’s called that! Thank you!
