Day 19: 36miles (709) to Villefort

NEXT

Brrrrr! I was so cold this morning I had to wear a coat and gloves as we cycled up to the Col Des Tribes at 1132m. I found it tough as I just couldn’t warm up so resorted to using more battery than usual. I was tired after yesterday. Neil cycled steadily up. On the way, we stopped for a coffee in a place with an electric charger stand for e-bikes! Free! So I topped up and arrived at our destination with almost a full battery. As we crossed over the continental divide, it warmed up and we had a delicious picnic overlooking the valley. Usually people fly down the 35km descent the other side, but there was such a strong headwind we still had to peddle a little. Villefort is a small, pretty mountain village with few tourists. We relaxed in our warm and cosy B&B enjoying a home cooked supper. Ahhhhh.

The cathedral at Mende
The Massif Central
