10 July 2008: Stage Six: Mountains
I am sitting 2km from the top of super-besse. Barely made it today.
My body is gradually cracking, and if I can't find a way to sleep more I
think my tour will end in a day or two. This is the first day that food
hasn't made me feel better during the ride. The only thing I could think
of for the last 60km was pulling off the road to take a nap. But that
would mean missing my connection from Issoire to Brioude, so I pedaled
on. Fortunately the gendarmrie were less strict than yesterday.
On the bright side, the tour has become incredibly scenic. CJ arrives
after only two more stages. And there are still camping cars everywhere
to help me out and cheer me on.
Here come the riders! Until the next.
