Cluny - Beaune
103.5 kms
Yesterday it started to rain and this morning it was still raining. Because of this weather we were a little bit slow and it was almost 10 o’clock when we left the camping site. In front of the camping site we met some nice Belgian girls, who were cycling the route the other way around.
We started to cycle. A nice cycle-track lay ahead of us, it was on the route of an old railroad. This railroad moved
Because the cycle-track was in place of the railroad, the track was almost completely straight and flat. This was a difference with the previous days, but it was very nice. We cycled about 30 kms/h for almost 2 hours.
And it happened all at once. Bas’ tyre was completely flat, it was a shock. We didn’t expect this, because the asphalt was very nice and clean. We unpacked Bas’ bike, an enormous job. After almost one hour the tyre was repaired and we rode on.
We rode through a wine district in the vicinity of Beaune the rest of the day.
When we entered Beaune it was big fun. We rode together with all the cars around 40 kms/h, we behaved like cars. The drivers didn’t like this very much, but it was the simplest way to find our way to our camping site.
A big row of caravans and cars stood in front of the reception, all these people were waiting. We rode past them; we put our bikes against the wall and ran to the reception. In five minutes we had a pitch at the camping site and we got Lucky. (Just like Brad Pit in Miss & Mister Smith btw) Fifteen minutes later the complete camping site was full. We were very happy that evening.
We washed our shirts in
