European Phantom Trek Cycles to See the Queen

The group assembled in Terminal 3 at Heathrow Airport to begin our 28 day adventure through England, France, Belgium, & the Netherlands.  Bikes were assembled and we rode away towards the town of Windsor - Home of the Queen.  We had dinner at a Wagamama and fully jet-lagged retired early at a very nice Travelodge hotel.  Given the time difference, it was easy to get up early this morning and out to Windsor Castle to look for the Queen.  The castle was awesome, but no sign of her majesty.  By lunch it was time to hit the road and cycle west toward Salisbury and Stonehenge.  Tonight we are camping in Basingstoke and tomorrow we can look forward to the very nice Salisbury hostel with a great kitchen where we can try out our British culinary skills.
