To all of our avid followers (including Caitlain & Ewan), sorry that we have been unable to post each night but the stresses of cycling 90 miles a day (100 to some of those that can't map read) has meant that we have been pretty tired (well drinking by the pool, swimming and generally taking in the sun and great food and wine!!)
Well anyway its now day 7 and we've arrived in Albi, seems to be a very lovely town so far, but after 70 miles of cycling anything looks pretty appealing.
The day started pretty lazily as we only had 70 miles to go and the elevation profile from Bouzies to Albi was not to tough compared to the last few days. An easy flat road led to a nice little winding climb followed by the worst road in the world (Was it actually a road Mr D or had Garmin got us lost again??) "Will every one stop getting shot..." two loud expolsions on the apparent road had Mark do a couple of F1 speed tyre changes, putting him in number one spot for the blowout table.
After riding the rest of the day on perfect roads with rolling hills we were picking up the pace very well. We flew into Albi down 10% hill, Lord W taking the high speed record touching 47.3 mph with his tiny red lycra behind pointing to the sky in the perfect aero tuck position.
Enjoy the pics...more updates on previous days to come!
