June 5, 2022,Jura FR: Tag 2 - Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne nach Bempflingen - Von Roche-lez-Beaupré nach Montbéliard

It started with rain, which got heavier and heavier while packing.
But it wasn't cold, so put on the rain gear and off we went.
After 3/4 hour the rain from the clouds stopped, that from the trees only a little later.
Then the clouds opened up, even if a few dark ones passed threateningly close by.
Finally I got …

It started raining this morning. It stayed that way for the whole journey to Besançon. 1 time I had to lift the bike over a tree that had fallen over the bike path shortly before because of the wetness. I carefully lifted the wheel over it so that nothing could tear off. I drove about two kilometers further through a …

April 22, 2024,Frankreich-Frühjahrs-Tour, Etappe 15 von Montbélliard nach Besançon

Today I cycled down the beautiful Doubs Valley from Montbélliard to Besançon. A tailwind at times blew me along. The weather gods had promised a few hours of sunshine today, but the sunshine only lasted for a few minutes. It was also lousy cold again, the thermometer didn't go above 6°C today. At least it stayed dry almost the whole …

September 9, 2024,CRR24 Tag 3 - Montbéliard: wenn die Berge längs des Kanals immer kleiner werden

Beautiful stage to Montbéliard, along the canal and the Doubs (which left us just before Montbéliard). The first part in particular, to Besançon, where the valley is even narrower and the landscape more mountainous, was a lot of fun - despite the rain almost all day. But then again, there is no such thing as bad weather.... :)

Today was a bit more strenuous compared to the last two days.

About five kilometers after Montbeliard, the Canal de Rhone au Rhine flows into the Doubs (just before Bavans). From there it went constantly along the Doubs through a fascinating landscape. The Doubs is a Franco-Swiss river in eastern France and north-western Switzerland and is 453 km long. It …
