Rain, thunder and lightening during the night again. However, clear with some cloud in the morning when we got up. We decided to move on to Dole for a rest day, a much bigger city. Again, mostly flat paved bike paths and some country roads but very quiet. Stayed overcast and we got a few dabs of rain but nothing to get us wet. That is, until we arrived near Losne when the skies opened up and it started to downpour!! We happened to be under a train bridge just at that time so we thought how lucky we are!! We will just wait it out and hope it'll clear soon. No such luck. We waited 30 minutes and then decided to get the rain jackets out. Biking in the pouring rain is quite an experience. We went along slower than normal and with caution. It rained until we arrived in Damparis (about 18 kms) where we finally took our jackets off and arrived in Dole shortly after.

Rock concert at the campsite in the evening!!
