Tracey back to interrupting Jeremy's dinner (sorry!).
This was a short day, though it still involved cycling 34km - and probably 800m of climb, as well as a lovely run through the beautiful Vallee du Louron with its views of the biggest mountains. The group only did one col - Col de Peyresourde, and ended up in the spa town of Bagneres. Jeremy was clear about the best bit of the journey. On the top of col the group found a brilliant cafe which sold 12 crepes for 4 Euros - the cyclists idea of heaven!
Today was planned as a short day to make it easier for the support drivers to change over. It all went smoothly as John C took Roy to the airport at Po and picked up his wife, Sian at the same time. The spare time also allowed the group to take a cable car to Super-Bagneres up to a viewpoint at 1800m. This gives a view of all the biggest peaks, like Pic du Quairat - 3600m, and their glaciers (or what's left of them, as they are only 20% of the size they were 50 years ago).
The group also managed to meet up with Pete & Ant successfully, and tonight everyone is staying at a really friendly Chambre d'Hote owned by an English couple who are fantastic hosts.
Tomorrow is forecast for rain, but for once, it won't matter. It's time to wash socks, go for walks, and for some of the group go for a treatment session at the thermal baths.
Enjoy the rest guys!
