Home. Absolutely WRECKED right now because of the jet lag…but this too shall pass. I was able to stay up till bed time. Hopefully that means I sleep through the night. Fingers crossed for me, folks. It’s quite the time difference. Nine hours. Though…it could be much...

Twas one last day in Paris today. We did SO MUCH. Presents. Food. Carrying home clothes for JJ. We’re all sweaty in bed right now because we just spent the last hour packing. Weight limits are TRICKY. We’re leaving two bottles of wine at the hotel room. Sigh. They...

It was hot today on the train from Dijon back to Paris. But we made it! Woke up hella early compared to when we went to bed. Five hours of sleep I think? AND…ate a quick breakfast to go and ride for ten miles. TEN. MILES. (…on an e-bike, but still). Unfathomable just...

Man. We shut Beaune DOWN tonight. I…honestly had no idea we were going out. Twas sprung upon me, but once it was, I was honestly down. We went out with our two team leaders for this trip, and we had a blast at the downtown “club,” which was really a wine cellar that...

Y’all it is HOT here in burgundy. Did the morning ride, but skipped the afternoon one because I would have roasted. That was the WISE decision. Took a little nap. Clutch. Did some wine tasting at the Hospice de Beaune, which is a FIXTURE of the burgundy region. It was...

Sleeping tonight in a four-post bed complete with canopy. I think that’s a first. This place is INSANE. It used to be an Abbey. Now it’s a hotel. It’s hundreds of years old. Wild. The grounds here are INCREDIBLE. Just insanely gorgeous, nestled up against the base of...

Again, today I rode further than I’ve ever rode on a bike before: thirty-seven miles. One biiiiiig caveat here: it was on an e-Bike. Lol. Man. That shit is SO MUCH EASIER than a normal bike, omg. I was dyyyinnggg yesterday from the 26 mile ride on a normal bike....

I…rode a bike further today than I have ever ridden a bicycle. WITH INCLINES. 1,600 feet of them, in fact. I am very, very tired. BUT…the legs held up, I think. I hope. We’ll see tomorrow. As of right now, they’re fine. Hopefully they remain that way by morning....

We made it to Dijon. An adventure! To be sure. But, here we are. Taking the train was actually magical. So fast. So smooth. Got here in no time. Didn’t even have to take a nap. The station in Paris we left from was also pretty and PACKED. People actually use trains...

The Hos are once again united. We met them over in a new hotel after breakfast and laundry, we did a little shopping, and then we all went over to dinner together. It was SO GOOD. Super solid. Especially the dessert, which was a lemon sorbet, merengue, cream/custard,...
