Book Description
Walter Judson Moore's second Burgundy cycling guidebook contains 16 new and original loops with comprehensive maps, elevation profiles, point to point and turn directions, restaurants and orientation features plus detail maps for the villages with extra complexity. Color maps for each loop have photographs that help visualize the ride. This guide reduces travel stress by making clear what to expect at every turn from arrival in Paris to buying groceries at a supermarche. Lodging in a Gite Rural (holiday cottage) benefits not only your budget but also your grasp of village life. BICYCLE YOUR FRANCE: SECRET BURGUNDY expands your understanding of a gracious culture and the delight of bicycling in this unique region. These welcoming and friendly people live a 3,000-year-old history. They seem incapable of serving anything but fine food and drink. Their dwellings, roads, bridges and railways last hundreds of years. Flowers grow at the end of most vineyards, around many houses and highlight village squares. There is no litter. The pride practiced in agriculture is like creating artwork. A cyclist appreciates these traits better than most who examine the world. On a bicycle in Burgundy you pedal up hills, on less traveled roads and through villages. You won't miss small slopes, big hills, narrow roads, winding lanes, hamlets and bustling market towns.

Book Description
My second guidebook and friend, BICYCLE YOUR FRANCE: SECRET BURGUNDY, now has a facelift, all redrawn maps, waypoints with GPS data and renamed as BURGUNDY SECRETS. All sixteen of the original route maps are included, but now easier to understand and navigate. Elevation data was acquired every 200 meters on each route and new profiles drafted. All routes include discussions of a few villages, historical personalities and points of interest along the way. Included with each route is the latest method for listing Waypoints. Now each Waypoint locates longitude and latitude in degrees, minutes and seconds (to the hundredth), and in digital format. Cyclists with GPS-enabled smartphones may check each of the turn instructions while their companions either wait around or get on with the ride. As with all other BICYCLE YOUR FRANCE guidebooks, this guide also offers a companion publication, QUEUE SHEETS, with just the Waypoint listings (with GPS), route maps and elevation profile.

Book Description
Liberté, Fraternité, Égalité-the heritage of the French, Celts, Romans, Visigoths, Saxons, Franks, Britons, the Dominican and Cistercian orders all influenced the civilization and culture of Burgundy. They have a grand history, and you can look at their monuments everywhere. What should you expect in the twenty-first century? By cycling (of course) and staying in a location away from less-than-calm sightseers, visitors such as you may realize that contemporary Burgundy benefits from family, flowers, cuisine (cooking and food), agriculture, solid stone houses and many additional attributes. This guidebook focuses on 16 cycling routes around west and east Burgundy. There are 36 remarks on villages, canals, and points of interest. Included with each route are Waypoints that locate each with its longitude and latitude in degrees, minutes and seconds, and in digital format. Basic data are included on selecting a community and a gîte, bringing your bike or renting, having a vehicle, driving in France, what to bring, and buying groceries. As with all other BICYCLE YOUR FRANCE guidebooks, there is also a companion QUEUE SHEETS, with just the Waypoint GPS located listings, route maps and elevation profiles (duplicating that information in the guidebook). Details: 106 pages; 11" x 8.5"; English; 16 two-page color route maps with elevation profiles and Waypoints; ten town maps and descriptive graphics; 177 color photographs. In addition to the print format, this guidebook is available as a Kindle(R) E-book.
