Today we decided to try a route posted on the billboards down next to the Parc de la Bouzaize. It started there and headed out towards Savigny les Beaune along not quite a voire verte, but a much-less-used road than a freeway. It was, indeed, a very lovely ride. [It seems that, unlike many other unsuccessful rides/walks in France, this time it seems that the people who made the maps were also the SAME PEOPLE who put out the signs!].
Out to Savigny les Beaune for a picnic lunch in the square. DJ had found an artisan bakery that made/sold only bread. Rammed into the bread DJ had squished some cheese and some rabbity meatloaf. TDF!
A bit further on a small market was in full swing. All the villagers were crammed into small, blocked off street munching into slices of pizza and guzzling down snails and red wine.
And a beautiful pumpkin stall:
Kept following the bike trail signs to Aloxe Corton and on to Ladoix Serrigny. Here we got a little lost-boots, but we soldiered on.
Thirty km in all and a lovely ride with no hills. Lots of degustations along the way and very do-able for not-so-strong cyclists. Rain threatened, so we high-tailed it back home via not-so-busy roads. Youse would of loved it!
Toodles!
Sounds an easier ride than my 41km 860m vertical climb ride in the dandenongs today in a slight drizzle but our scenery was just as good! It is just magic in them hills
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the last few posts I am exhausted!! And I'm a bit concerned that your sustenance levels aren't keeping up with your energy output! Where's the fabulous pastries and cakes and tarts and biscuits? Or am I the only person who needs treats to get them through? Probably!
