My first Tour de France sign!

After my stop in Saint-Jean-de-Losne, I passed through St Aubin and made a mostly southerly, gently climbing leg for about 50Km to Lons-le-Saunier. Here I hit my first major climbs as I headed into the Jura mountains.

My first evening in the mountains, included a climb which I was informed was 13% for 2Km. Whilst the climb wasn't easy it didn't exactly destroy me either, so I'm not too worried about more of them to come. Geneva is about 700ft higher than Dijon, but I'm fairly sure I've been (net) climbing for much of the afternoon, so much of that should be behind (below?) me.

Along the D678 road I encountered my first sign indicating I was entering an area that would be disrupted by Le Tour.Read more
