Mars et ses caprices pour cette première sortie printanière à vélo ! La grêle nous a surpris à Lécluse… pendant la pause café, bien à l’abris au « Petit caporal ». Et pour finir en beauté, un bon vent du nord sur le retour, parfait pour se remettre en jambes !

Parcours réalisé par belle et froide journée d’hiver. La première partie jusqu’à Écourt-Saint-Quentin se fait sur route, offrant de magnifiques panoramas dégagés sur le val de la Sensée. Ensuite, on emprunte de petites routes et chemins goudronnés longeant les étangs et le canal. Retour à Douai. Une balade idéale par beau temps pour profiter des nombreux points de vue et des pauses au bord de l’eau.

Très joli parcours, la variante par le GR121 le long du marais d'Ecourt St; Quentin n'était pas une bonne idée en cette saison !!! Les vélos ont droit à un beau désembouage... mais pas qu'eux !
