Sunday Cycle

Sunday promised a thunderstorm in the afternoon so we thought we'd beat it and cycle for a while before the clouds rolled in. It was a beautiful morning when we set out with little wind and sunny skies. It actually got quite warm after a while. We cycled from our place to a turn toward a nearby village, Corgoloin. The route takes you through a bit of the countryside and vineyards and downhill to the village. We cycled through the relatively small place (which was VERY quiet it being Sunday) and found backroads heading towards Comblanchien (the next village over) and onwards to Premeaux-Prissey. These roads are excellent cycling routes with little to no traffic. They don't have any shoulders and the asphalt can be dodgy in spots but with no cars to be concerned about, they are pretty awesome. Past Premeaux-Prissey we crossed on a bridge above the main motorway below (lots of traffic there!) and started downward on the road. We could see ahead some men in the fields with dogs and fairly quickly Richard could make out they had guns and were hunters. Louisa decided to turn around there -- we would leave guns and dogs on their own!! Heading back on the overpass there was a lake to our left with a gravel path that looked like it went all round the lake. We stopped there for a bit of a rest, cycled out on the path for a while and then headed back home on the same route. Just as we got out of Corgoloin and hit the climb home the clouds started rolling in! By the time we were just about to enter Villers-la-Faye and home the rain started. We were lucky to escape the downpour.
