Not quite sure how I've managed to cover quite so much ground today because it was hot. However I started nice and early. The only thing I really remember about today's ride is that I wanted to get up from the campsite back on to the main road so I headed north. And climbed. And climbed. And climbed! I think it was about 1000m.
And not for any obvious reason I could see, ie a band of hills or a rocky outcrop. Just a bloody great hill that I decided to cycle up and which left me in a really bad mood because it sapped all my energy. Fortunately it wasn't followed by a giant downhill but a fairly gentle top of the ridge ride towards St Gaudens.
Other than that, had a simply fab picnic lunch in the middle of nowhere in which every mouthful was pure pleasure. Too much sun overall though: I'm very tired this evening and I've got about 80k to reach June's tomorrow...
Free wifi, a clean loo and a mango McFlurry - all for two euros!
