UTMR Day 0: Non-running stuff 👨‍🍳

No dramatic rain 🌧 but only a bit of sun in the afternoon 😒.

We started and it seemed that will be a clearer day but soon the clouds ☁️☁️ come...

Our first worry was to find something open for breakfast/coffee ☕️ but we found one just 800m after the start.

We started along the Saar river for a while. We would call it Industry archeology 🏭.

At some point we left the river and climbed some little hills ⛰️⛰️⛰️ between the German and French border that brought us to Luxembourg 🇱🇺.

First time we entered when crossing from Germany to Louxembourg we found Schengen and we did a coffee stop that turn into more lunch stop 🥗☕️.

Sun started to shine when we got to Luxembourg city where we cycled a bit around. Great infrastructure and in general respectful drivers.

We kept going since still we had a while to go. Next pit stop was in Arlon, thr first big town at our entrance in Belgium 🇧🇪. A coffee ☕️ and a quick look where we will sleep 😴.

We finished the day around where originally planned 💭. We had some thoughts we could get some kms burnt 🔥 from the next day... but... our ambition went down over the kms and the ups ↗️ and downs ↘️ and the time and energy ⚡️consumed to overcome them.

In Léglise we did our last check and it was 21 kms and 300m ⬆️ to do... it felt long... and we wanted the deserved dinner.

We had a great sunset 🌄, however our tireness did not allow to appreciate that much... We got for some 30 min of dark and finally arrived around 8:30 pm to our destination 🏁; Libramont-Chevigny.
