It's the morning of day 7, and we are just about to set off from Gouzon where we arrived last night. The last part of the ride yesterday was all uphill - not very steep but continuous. Which sets the scene for what it to come over the next few days.
Looking at the map, we are right in the middle of France, so that's good. We are where the purple pin is.
Today we head for Clermont Ferrand. Our usual tactic is to head for small villages and avoid the cities, which makes my job of accommodation hunting more difficult, but is far easier to navigate the cycling that way. But tonight we are city bound. A night in a bed and breakfast will give the boys a good recovery before the real hill work starts tomorrow - all building up to the biggy - Mt Vontoux on day 11.
Yikes!!
