This was to be perhaps the easiest day of the trip but no one told the sun and she was in a vengeful mood. The promised cloud cover never appeared. I reapplied sun block 3 times and was still burnt. The few shady spots along the road were littered with cyclists. One rider told me he was cycling to the Atlantic. He was on EV 6 but headed in the wrong direction. It was too hot to change directions so he said maybe he would go to Lyon and consider other routes to the Atlantic. Finding a bridge was out and being forced to reroute only added to our day in the sun.

    I cycled around Beaune a few years ago. The wine drinking was fantastic!
