• Stage 2 Tour de France - Geriatric Div

    May 24, 2024 in France ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    We woke in Cadouin to a beautiful sunny day. Unfortunately I woke up full of a cold and cough, but we weren't going to let that stop us so off we went.
    Another day of huge hills, another day of my bike getting pushed up said huge hills. Graham has done so well, he drops to a low gear and puts his head down and crawls up the hills. We stopped in some lovely towns but Monpazier was our favourite. Most of our photos are from there.
    Yesterday as we were riding we kept bumping into a young couple on e-bikes (they are smart). Stopped at lunch yesterday, and there they were. Stopped for lunch today .... and there they were.
    Back to our BnB and struggled to climb the stairs to our room. At least we don't have to go far as the owner is a chef and they run a restaurant from here. The food is superb.
    Another big day planned tomorrow. Oh dear.
