Day 15: Montchanin to Beaune
I made it! Now I get to rest for a few days :).
In the last 15 days, I’ve done about ~630 miles in 49 hours. I’ve got one last pedal back to Dijon and after that, the bike trip is done. I plan to post a longer summary then!
I had a small crash today, totally my fault… I hit some gravel and hit my breaks while turning too sharply and laid the bike down (got distracted as the sign said left and my GPS said straight). Beyond giving the wine vines some of my blood and having a scraped up knee and elbow it was nothing. In mountain biking, I think it is called a hard left.
Today’s ride was a challenge when it came to navigation. I ended up just making my own route and figuring it out as I went. For 10 miles it was through farmland full of cows, bunnies, and sheep. Then it turned into wine country and there were vineyards as far as the eye could see. The eurovelo 6 signs disappeared, and then I switched off it on a vineyard bike route.
