9 July

9 July

Time to head back 'home'...being the apartment in Besancon.

The plan was to be at breakfast by 0700, on the road by 0730.  Well, make it a half hour later for each of the previous times, and I'm off.  The profile shows some climbing, but overall, it's 'downhill' from here.

About 50 miles (+/-) for the day. Not a whole lot to write...I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Made it home in 3.5 hours.  Cleaned up, started laundry, hung out the camping gear to dry and started to grill a 'steak' dinner.  I say 'steak' because it's not quite like Nebraska beef, but still good.  Nice to be home...best part...JEN!!!


A nice little incline

Another town

Wide open spaces...and a descent on the way!

A look back ...I was climbing at this point but the descent was from the hills in the background...great ride!

looking back...without looking back

more great scenery

Almost there...24km

BESANCON!

The Citadelle

The tunnel under the Citadelle

Guess where I am...

Back at the apartment...I cannot get my bike in the elevator, so I have to throw my gear in and send it to the 5th floor.  Then I carry my bike up 10 short flights of stairs...the joy of apartment living in France

Caption really needed?
