We started the day in the same fashion as the previous two.. Namely up hill!.. The weather had improved, perfect for cycling, and after 15 miles we were treated to what we had started to believe may never come.. A downhill run.. Ten minutes later, a 1500 ft drop, 6 miles completed and it was all over, and the tredge up the hills began again.
We did have a slight reprieve in the stretch along the dordogne river, yet this drew us into a sprint, and the next hill became our most trying moment of the trip so far, we just simply ran out of puff and ran out of will.
We limped home slowly, which was a sad end to a day which showed stunning views all of the way!
Have now enjoyed a snooze and a shower, and can reflect more positively on the whole day.
We are now half way in terms of miles completed, having done 57 today.
Rocamadour is stunning, however as we arrived you could have mistaken it for a motorhome festival, these things just get everywhere, a real tourist mecca... Mum and Simon have you been here yet?
Tomorrow is another day of cycling apparently...... Good..... Really looking forward to it!!!
Maybe a couple of beers in the direction of one of the motorhomes tonight.. And we could sneak a cheeky lift!! Hmmm if only!!
