Just bought the train ticket to Marseille this weekend.
A little over 6 hours by train in one go from Rotterdam central station. Only 10 minutes by bike or perhaps I will take it all packed up by tram, metro or have it picked up beforehand and delivered to my destination in France.
Will have to look into the best way back (
and expect some "rinko" content in this thread beforehand) but that will either be by train, plane or bus.
How are you liking them so far? I ran them at 3 bar (
43 psi) this weekend and that felt good.
The 42s are, as I mentioned in my thread, fantastic. 48s were the first enlightenment, but 42s have done really well, especially in comparison to the 33s. 33s over Seattle roads may as well be 25s as far as I'm concerned. 42s eliminate a lot of that stuff. It's pretty incredible. Since I run unloaded, 40-43 PSI seems to be the sweet spot. 40 PSI for sure in the front. I'll be doing more mileage once the decals arrive, I apply them, and build the bike up. I'll place the head badge on it today.
