Well 2 days of tailwinds and not as much rain as forecast makes 2 happy cyclists!

Leaving Besançon and then Ougney the past 2 mornings had us fully kitted out in rain gear as there was some Irish mist coming down. Well about an hour after departure we were peeling off the layers and later having a picnic in the sunshine!

The fall colours have really taken hold to create a wonderful palette of colour in this beautiful valley of hills and limestone cliffs.

Cycling through the tunnel under the citadel in Besançon….

The biggest butternut squash I have ever encountered…

and lots of oregano growing beside the trail….
