Not the longest but one of the toughest days for me.
Really starting to take this beautiful country for granted now - not really, but more stunning scenery and getting hotter and hotter, 37 degrees in the afternoon.
Crossed the Lot river today, probably steepest climb yet but not too long. Last 30 miles was a drag from Decazaville to Rodez - road works, loose chippings, loads of traffic and HGV's and one serious vertical climb that found a lot of us out, especially as water was in short supply for some. Semih was delayed briefly as he witnessed a nasty road accident further back and stopped to help out which was fair enough.
Arrived in Rodez just as mass demo was happening, not sure what about but suspect it had something to do with pensions.
Liked Rodez, bigger than I expected and definitely full of life, good for the lads and the Captain. Dinner at the local Turkish kebab house which made a change. Shared a room of 5 tonight which was a bit sweaty but ok - I'm sure you really wanted to know that!
