A long day today, over 230 miles on twisty D roads as we headed from the overcast North with its occasional rain spots to the "proper biking holiday" France of the South!
Our tardy start didn't help, with Vince and Pip doing an excellent impersonation of drunken slags...
But at least we had the foresight to use Vince's excellent map of France to pick some target towns en route for our raid on the rural twisters before heading out.
An enforced stop turned out to be a pro cycle race, with rolling road closures...
A break an impressive 5+ minutes up...
A full complement of World
Tour teams including Cav's Etixx-Quickstep...
And the Sky boys, complete with Jag team car!
Donzenac, not a new heartburn drug but our destination, was reached about 19.30, where the excellent lady patron sorted the meal to arrive shortly after our much-needed showers - hurray!! Hot work today but good bendy fun.
The evening idled away in smalltalk and moonlight- excellent. And so to bed - Andorra tomorrow!
