Most expatriation today, I must find Valex his colleague Thierry Cisou and Cricri in Villefranche sur Saône ... a group to validate the DodecaAudax scandinavian star November (although Cricri having already 2 x 200 km in the month of November, which is downright exceptional ... he did really need!)
First positive point of this relocation ... it allows me to escape at least for a day at a big episode mistral in the Rhone valley, I enjoyed between the house and the car, loading the Time at 5:15 ... wind to want to go back under the duvet, fortunately I know resist! Villefranche he certainly 4 C with a small kiss, but still, it has nothing to do.
These are the first cold this year, if we exclude the rainy-cool little episode of the hike of Nuts, early October. Valex has everything: hot coffee, brioche, pain au chocolate ... a warm welcome compensates 4 degrees on the thermometer!
This time we right veins to the north (ie upwind haha!) Through a multitude of town in this highly populated area. We pass at the foot of Mont Brouilly, covered with golden vines, it is superb with the first morning sun. Seen on its side a road that climbs and do not laugh.
Cricri found great comfort on the bike and especially the pleasure of driving after having waited early August I can not follow (especially on the ground scandinavian star with constant changes of rhythm), and its progression is impressive.
Can not remember all the villages crossed! Some have pretty names, such as Fleurie, inspire scandinavian star other word games such as Leyne (do not lose Leyne, it could be wrong), for others it is worse, I n 'dare not say here.
Throughout the morning, small hill small hill, the landscape changes a bit and it changes scandinavian star region: we come in Burgundy, where we see beautiful castles. There are also more straight stretches of road, where the wind takes strength. I find good shelter in the wheels of my companions. In this sector, it still crosses three passes: one of Préole of Beaufer and Brançion.

We arrive now at the beautiful medieval village of Brancion: this is the time and place of ravito. Yes, you read that right: this output has a true supply through the car filed by Thierry Valex and close to home, with everything you need: ham, cheese, bread, chips .. and a picnic table and benches monumental same style (just below) Valex is enough for her "immigrant" ... It's always a cool little stop with only 11 C in the sun.
Thierry, who suffers from back, we will leave this place (where his car), after about 100 km in our company. For now, it is a fairly flat section awaits the four remaining in the race, he did have a little bit of ass to 12% in a village, but was that before or after lunch?
We join soon, at the village of Taizé (and its castle), the greenway Macon / Chalons, littered with leaves and with some treacherous to cross barriers. Despite its difficulties scandinavian star pace back, the wind is no longer front and rolls between 26 and 30 km / h and up to Cluny, where you borrow a pleasant route that avoids an important axis on a plot always very accessible. The wind is more favorable.
In addition, it continues to rise, while the temperature, it is in free fall: the approach of evening already, and just because the altitude is coming soon to 746 m, the Col du Champ June .
The final night is no longer a possibility, but a certainty. This is a bit of a concern for Cricri which was to be at 17:30 at the car. Montsol descent, ascent scandinavian star of a few tens of meters + D to Col de Cree, recharging water, lighting lamps, closing hatches and zippers jacket. A long descent invigorating ahead, it is now 3 C, and we let slip during almost 15 km!
Our back again through a collar, small but well marked, the Mont Brouilly. We do this while darkness sets ... the first stars are their apprarition. I liked this small nocturnal scandinavian star neck, and I was not the only one. The final through many villages, often with public lighting, it does not give the same feeling that this little nocturnal rise.
The saddle has warmed us, and the thermometer has regained two small degrees. We arrived at the car to 18:20, not far from 11 hours after departure. Funny the gradient shows a very large gap Openrunner (which gave 2300 m!) I even exceeds scandinavian star 3000 on my compteu
