Day 89 – Cuzion to Rosnay

Sunday July 31, 2011, 53 km (33 miles) – Total so far: 3,228 km (2,006 miles)

It was another lovely hot day, the weather forecast was for 27 degrees (a lovely change considering it was 6 degrees a few days ago).

We woke up late as our tent was in the shade so didn’t get packed up until after 11am. It was really hot already and we still had that steep hill to deal with.

Thankfully it was only 600m that we had to push our bikes up so we just took our time taking regular breaks. It was probably one of the steeper hills we have had, but as it was at the start of the day it wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be.

To make up for it, the rest of the day was really flat. It was Sunday, so all shops were shut and we had to get bread before noon. Thankfully we found a bakery with a nice square so we bought a couple of pepitos and ate them. It was one of those stunning sunny days that just makes you feel so happy.

Square where we had our pepitos.

As we continued our ride along flat country rodes I kept saying to Mike “I’m so happy, I love this so much”. It was true, it was a real feel good riding day after all the crap weather we had been having.

After 58km we found a nice little campground beside a lake for only 6.30 euros. It was 20km to the next camp and we both felt like continuing as we were on a high from the riding.

We decided that it would be madness to continue. What more could we want. cheap camping, nice campground and we had done 58km already. so we stopped for the night.
