Stage Distance: 180km
Total Distance: 2684km
Following our first real rest day (the previous rest day had involved most of the day on a bus) we had a reasonably easy day riding into Gap, only three climbs; a Cat 3 and two Cat 2’s. I think we are starting to get cocky in the ‘bubble’. I actually heard someone say “if it doesn’t have a two at the start it’s a recovery day”. Cocky, but it does have some truth, today was 180km and we were all treating it as a short day. The ‘bubble’ is madness.
Today was fairly uneventful but rode through some of the most amazing scenery. I spent the day riding with Andy Green, whom I suspect was having an “off day”. It was a great day, Andy was great company to ride with and we took it quite easy, just enjoying riding through a beautiful part of France.
