Cycling our Newest Route!

Today (as the sun shone brightly even though there was a coolness about the Autumn air) we set off to explore our newest cycling route from La Maison des Chaumes. We headed toward Meuilley and a fantastic downhill run toward Nuits Saint Georges. The approach to Nuits Saint Georges took us through a part of the village we had not seen before but we did not lose our way as we headed to the Centre where the Friday market was in full swing! We stopped for a refreshment before the long, long climb out of Nuits Saint George to Chaux. Louisa is very proud of herself for accomplishing this climb!! It is a constant climb for more than 2000 m. and we don't think we've climbed anything this long since maybe Grandview Bench Road in Vernon or climbing in Umbria. Even though our bikes are not the lightest, they are like "billy goats" up the hills!!! A good thing! From Chaux we took an alternate route back which extended our ride. It was such a beautiful morning for a ride! Tomorrow looks much the same so we are off again -- this time for an extended ride to the backroads beyond Corgoloin. If the hunters and dogs are out tomorrow -- screw 'em! We want to see where that road leads us. Cheers! We think we hear the Friday night Camion de Pizza approaching the village.
