Today I made it to Mâcon a famous city in Burgundy – further south on the Saône river. Now following La Voie Blue south. It was a short ride – I needed to stop early and rest. It is getting very hot and I think I will have to avoid riding from 2 – 4pm. I’ll have to get up earlier if I want to put down some mileage …
In the morning I spend some time walking the streets of Chalon-sur-Saône before taking off.
The old downtown area is small …
The overgrown path south followed the Saône river bank for miles – sunflower fields going forever ….
Got some serious rash trying to make my way through the nettle forest.
Had a great lunch at a cafe on the riverbank …
After 2h I was covered in bugs everywhere. You have to ride with your mouth closed …
Made it to Mâcon after about 65km …

Salut Rolf,
Tu as déjà parcouru la moitié de ton parcours vers Barcelone ? Félicitations !
C’est un véritable exploit et un modèle pour les vieillard.
Tu traverse actuellement une région viticole réputée. Les vins de Bourgogne peuvent bien sûr t’aider à recharger ton batteries pour la suite du voyage. Bon courage !
There isn’t a single “best” time to drink Burgundy wine, but 2 to 4 PM sounds reasonable, as long as you serve it slightly chilled 🙂
