Small roads without traffic from Lacenas. A little way, especially on the return. From village to village, all so beautiful. Two important stops, at the Bois d'Oingt on the café terrace, reunion with friends, what a pleasure. And then a meal with these same friends.

The Combe Bertrand seen for the first time in months, downhill. The bottom of the valley between Mt St Afrique and ND, 4 awkward trees to pass. Rise on the Rente Chamerey, then the Neuve. Descent through the Grands Vaux. An ideal tour, a ground which is just as much.

With my gravel bike on asphalt. Bike lanes, small country or vineyard roads, departmental roads, cycle paths or the bank of the canal in the center, variety but no land! Vineyards with big names all along the way.

A route near the house, technical and playful, both uphill and downhill. Stony climbs, narrow paths in balconies with slabs of different levels, descents on stone singles, in short everything that makes the cross country biker happy. And absolutely wonderful nature.

André at the controls of the course. The best, no asphalt, path or path. Abundant nature, happiness to be in this luxuriance and to find the technical pleasures of cyclo-cross on the handlebars of my Diverge, which had fun like a little crazy after 6 months of inactivity. Many fallen trees, across paths. The forest regained its rights during containment - confined humans, wild forest, nature as it should always be.

A tower that mixes asphalt and earth, with a large proportion of asphalt. Ideal for recovering or strolling in the wind. The first part contains all the difficulties; once you fork in the woods, under the tower of Mount Africa, that easy, a treat! The woods of Flavignerot are always magnificent, the Naizou fountain makes it possible to fill the gourd. I like the distant horizon lost in the blue sky and the clouds on the Cras plateau, the descent to Plombières is by road, no cars. And then the pleasure of entering the middle of the workers' gardens, and being able to have a coffee or an ice cream on the shore of Lake Kir - a holiday air full of happiness.

Easy to St Jean de Losne, from the extra flat at the edge of the Ouges canal and on small rural roads, asphalt and earth or sandy terrain. Then the Burgundy canal to the harbors or refit basin of the barges, at the entrance to St Jean. Then, I put rhythm, in the wind, on track and false flat amounts. Small roads, rolling or gravel banks, a forest track in the forest of Longchamp, and still small rural roads, some rural roads and the long urban crossing, between Quetigny and Dijon - very good on a Sunday afternoon because empty of car traffic, but surely to avoid another day or time.

Superb level I put it back slowly on my side!

Beautiful route, performed solo, with some new features: the balcony trail of the Semetrot valley, the forest track of Mantuan, the descent with small scabrous passage on Concoeur, the single in the forest above Gevrey, and the small descent of the Combe Trouhaude (stone passage).

Course with very little asphalt, and a maximum of grassy paths and trails. A real pleasure between woods and vineyards, and some chosen pieces: the first bump, the short descent on Gevrey, and the Bombi path for the return to Chenôve.
