Rolled into Dijon at around twenty hundred, sorry cant make French keyboard do numbers.  A real slog today, completed every stage since we left the uk so really feeling it.  Breaks are really short, five minutes if you are doing the whole day and a twenty minute lunch.  Thats literally a pee break as discrete as possible, get water, eat a banana and get other goodies for the route.  Weather has been glorious, sunny bright days, day break over champagne region was great.  It gets cold in about two minutes once the sun drops for the day.  The motorcycle outriders performed another sterling effort and shut down roads for us to roll into our final stop in Dijon.  Beef stew and chips.  Now bed.
