Berne-Nice Day 8 Auron-Nice
95km to Nice and I espect everything downhill or at least flat.
It had been raining all night so it was a cool morning. Just warm enough to drive in short sleeves. The first 5 km went down to the main road. Continuing downwards it was going swiftly forward 40km in 1h10. It was mainly on the main road but with no traffic. Occasionally there was a bike route through woods which was nice but on the other hand you have all the roots from the trees making the route bumby. A firm grip on the handlebar is necessary. After 2 hours I had done 60km and the valley widened and got flat. The last 10km before the road was busier. At 60km the bike route started on the other side of the river Var. It was wide flat but in the baking sun. This went on an on, the road getting less and less good the nearer to the coast. At the end it turned into a small side road with pebbles, garbage on the side. Back on the bike lane with a water filled underpass. Finally I arrived on the bike lane passing the airport and leading to Promenade des anglais the promenade running along the coast by Nice. A quarter to 2 pm I arrived in Nice on Place Massena.
The tour is done. I have thought about at least since my tour to Denmark and now DONE. Happy, tired and very hungry.
