Today was a ride of two halves. The first 40ish miles were
flat and fast. The group organsed itself into a very effective train and ate up
the morning miles on their way to Chauvigny and then on to Moulismes. After a
nice lunch stop the terrain turned very lumpy and a new challenge ensued.
An exhausted Fribbo jumped into the van and rested while the
others battled through. The afternoon’s
highlight was a valley descent along empty hairpinned hillside roads. This,
inevitably was followed by the climb back up the valley, which had heart rates
soaring, and gears clicking to beat the sharp incline.
The hotel, with its peaceful lakeside view, and swimming
pool, was a wonderful treat after such a tough day of riding.
