After one rest day near Grenoble, I continued the cycle tour today. I started rather late, about 1 pm. The cycle path follows the river Isère and this is a voie Verte again, though in the middle part there are no signs, so I had to trust my route. Due to reconstruction works of a bridge, i had to take a short deviation. The French government has built multiple large bridges just for cyclists and pedestrians. It seems not many people know about this bicycle network, because it was sparely used, if I compare it to the Inn cycle path in Germany. I had nice weather, sun and it was rather warm,so a bar of chocolate melted down in my pannier.
Today I cycled 103 km and found a camp site just near Valence and everywhere I hear my language Dutch, even the music in the bar.
One guy from Germany is here and he makes a similar cycle tour.

On the night there was a lot of rain again, buy it stopped in the morning, In France the long distance cycle patches are called voies vertes and followed the path along the Rhône valley. The quality is similar to the Swiss cycle network, so partly dedicated cycle patches and bridges are used; further small, tertiary roads. Only in some exceptions main roads are unavoidable,  e.g. if in a narrow valley there is no place for separate cycle paths. In those cases a cycle track is marked on the road.
At the first Lavatoire I refilled my water bottles. At Virignin I shopped for my lunch, bought a baguette, just to have something else after my muesli days.
In Saint-Genix-sur-Guiers I left the Rhone valley and had to climb over 300 km, including two very steep parts. This was not anymore a voie verte, so not always as comfortable to cycle on. My Komoot route guided me via a very steep ascent, that I only could master at a very slow speed and after looking more intensively on the map, there was a better alternative just some 100 m longer.
From Voiron I could see my destination of the day highlighted by some Sun rays:  Grenoble. But that was a wrong promise, on the dike path along the river Isère there was a light rain coming down. This night no camping, but visiting a friend.

Today: 134 km

Today was a rainy day again. And I ended on an abandoned camping site.
First town I passed was Yverdon-les-Bains, a nice old town, at least in the center. Then I saw, the cycle route 5 was reworked. Last time, the route followed the motorway directly and was rather loud,  That improved now.
Near Mormnot, I switched from route 5 to route 50. There rain became heavier. So all the way until Geneva I hardly could see the Lake. Leaving Geneva I looked for a campsite and found one on the map (OSM base) near . I arrived rather late, so I had to take this one. As I arrived I found it empty. It must have been closed years ago. I pitched my tent and after my meal a frog jumped on my leg.

Today the distance was 154 Km.
