These days are the toughest on the ride, long rides (each over 120km) and uphill all the way. I have to admit to a beautiful descent at the end of the second day but tough work to get there.
The first day, the third hill is a climb up the hill from Marvejols which is a killer. At the top is a sign advising anyone going down that there are 3km at 10% gradient. Knowing that is the mean, based on figures below and above that you get the picture. Steep. The road is covered with painted encouragement for former racers. ... Courage mon ❤, etc One at the beginning reads 'Bienvenu a infer', Welcome to hell.
So here's a story from the road instead ... it comes from a chapel we passed by a river.
