Publisher's Synopsis
Geographically, this guidebook focuses on the eastern part of the Burgundy Region in eastern France. There are 15 cycling routes mapped and profiled. The routes also include 47 discussions of a few villages, historical people and points of interest along the way. Included with each route is the latest method for listing Waypoints that locates its longitude and latitude in degrees, minutes and seconds (to the hundredth), and in digital format; the GPS information. As with all other BICYCLE YOUR FRANCE guidebooks, this guide also offers a companion, QUEUE SHEETS, with just the Waypoint GPS located listings, route maps and elevation profile. Details: English; 15 two-page page color route maps; 2 single page color overview maps; 2 color town maps; 252 color photographs and illustrations. In addition to the print format, this guidebook and the Queue Sheets are available in print from Amazon. My first guidebook and old friend, BICYCLE YOUR FRANCE: EXPLORING BURGUNDY, is renovated and revamped as BURGUNDY EXPLORATIONS. All eleven of the original route maps have been redrawn. Four new routes are included. Elevation data was acquired every 200 meters on each route and new profiles drafted. With each new guidebook I become more convinced that the best way to engage totally with a region is to bicycle it. Get out there you cycling pilgrims. Each itinerary discusses a few villages, points of interest along the route. All circuits are on paved roads, except for three kilometers on a partly gravel, partly potholed stretch used to avoid some traffic. Motor vehicle traffic on these routes is light. To optimize your vacation or holiday time, the guide helps to anticipate and cope with sources of travel stress and manage costs. To develop your awareness, it also incorporates notes on history, people, geography, structures and geology.
