So we started out poorly, choosing the wrong road out of aubusson, and choosing not to correct ourselves, as we had climbed 300 feet before we noticed and so we refused to simply roll back down the hill.. Instead we took a 5 mile detour which encompassed a further 600 feet of climb!
We completed 70 miles in total, and now sit in a 3 star Logis where the service is lovely but the hotel a little dated
We look forward to tomorrows ride which will take us 55 miles south through the dourdogne region, and follow the banks of the river lot for some 30 miles, and as such promises to be the prettiest day so far. All yesterdays problems have gone.. And now we have successfully handled a number of tricky hills, steph is thinking about attempting the pyrennian ascent planned for day 10
Fitness levels are definately improving, I even felt comfortable having a cheeky vin rouge at lunch.
Weather is set to improve, everything chipper.

Hey Guys,
ReplyDeleteIt is currently 4.18am SPanish time and we are up as scott is throwing up and having panic attacks!!!
sounds like all going well what is with the rain, it is boiling here and we have been hoping that you have not been cycling in the temperatures that we have been expereincing so actually I bet the rain is quite nice.
All good here, just chilling out ad eating way too muvh and both of us slowly getting fatter as the holiday progresses, i do not think i am going to be the only one looking 6 months pregnant at the end of the holiday : how are the blisters?
anyway the wireless here is actually pants and it does take about 4 hours to even log on but will check and update in a few fays.
Loads of love
Em and Scott
PS watch up for those bloody camper vans!!!!
