We followed the Canal du Centre down into a new river system today, the Saone. It looks like we’ll be following this for a while, including its tributary, the Doubs.
We rode into strong headwinds this afternoon, our first of the trip. Very slow and exhausting, but you have to take the good with the bad.
More farms and cattle ranches, they seem to go on forever. On our last cycle trip this way in 2014 we skipped this section by train. Nice riding, but the same for hundreds of kilometers, perhaps skipping was the better choice.
EuroVelo 6 routed us through Chalon sur Saone, I assumed to see something interesting like a castle, but no. Just another town/city.
It’s been a long day.
