If one would have asked me after 5k how many km we could do today, I would have said 20. But after two Croissants, Pain au Chocolat, one Gatorate and half a liter of Cola (for each) we felt much better.The Voie Bleue is a bike path mostly following the river Saone. We followed it most of the time, but whenever we saw on the map that it becomes a detour, we asked Google for the „easiest“ way. Sometimes Google chooses ways one hardly can walk (see the see pictures
) but going back was not option either, because the map showed the next street not far a way.The day before we decided to buy new wheels which was a good idea. We bought them at a Decathlon and had one flat just 10k before the shop. We replaced one wheel when we got to the shop and carried the others with us.Later, by 8pm a thunderstorm came up, we had to put on rain clothes, by 9pm my rear wheel exploded with a very loud boom , a piece of wood had damaged the wheel and the tube. Time for the 2nd replacement
We arrived almost dry at the camping site by 10pm, set up the tent and went to bed totally tired…
