Twenty-four friendly BAC members met up in Zurich Switzerland ready to ride down the Rhone River to the Mediterranean Sea. But before clipping in, we took a train up the breathtakingly beautiful north slope of the Alps to begin our ride at the headwaters of the Rhone in Ulrichen Switzerland. Then it was downhill along the EuroVelo17 to Marseille, France passing through Geneva, Lyon, Avignon, Arles, tiny medieval villages, and farm fields along the way.
Sing to the tune of My Sharona with apologies to Berton Averre and Doug Fieger, and the Knack. Ooh my little EuroVelo, dix-sept, dix-sept
When, you gonna show your water, Via Rhona?
Ooh you make my bike hum, bike run
Speeding down the hill, Via Rhona
Chorus
Never gonna stop, there’s a church, missed my turn
Follow GPS for the route, Apricots, Lavender
Don’t wanna a flat
M-m-m-y Via Rhona
River’s getting wider now, wider now
Castles on the left again, Via Rhona
Keeping it a mystery gets to me
How’d they farm up on the hill, Via Rhona
Never gonna stop, there’s a church, missed my turn
Follow GPS for the route, apricots, lavender
Don’t wanna flat
M-m-m-y Via Rhona
Avignon in my sites, Pont du Gard Via Rhona
Made it to the end
Is it just destiny, destiny
Or is dinner waiting in Marsielle
M-m-m-y Via Rhona
Never gonna stop, there’s a church, missed my turn
Follow GPS for the route, apricots, lavender
Don’t wanna flat
M-m-m-y Via Rhona
