A Day to Forget
From Gray to Allerey-sur-Saône

But first, I will indulge myself, press the 'servant bell' in my room, and two minutes later, the hosts stand at my door with breakfast.
The route later runs exclusively along the Saône through Chalon and Tournus to Mâcon. Always heading south.
The Saône is quite wide here, still dammed, and looks almost like an elongated lake.
In Chalon, there is a service stop for the bike (laundry, chain oil, air) after yesterday's rain and mud struggle. And just before the destination, the first breakdown occurs when a branch gets into the derailleur. Luckily, just the chain came off and got stuck. Everything can be fixed with onboard tools.
Tonight I will be in Mâcon, right by the shore, let's see if I go to the city center again.
Km/Day 92.36
