Whilst Andy is watching the end of the Tour on TV I will catch up on the blog. We are a day ahead of ourselves, having decided not to take the planned day off in Annecy and just push on whilst the weather is good. Tim was right – Annecy, whilst lovely, is incredibly busy! We will, as a result, meet up with the Tour again as it leaves Grenoble on Saturday morning, so look out for us on the TV.
We followed a cycle path from Annecy with beautiful mountain views on all sides, very warm day but very easy 46 miles of cycling.
We had 2 hours off for lunch in Albertville, a large salad and dessert of Isle flottante plus loads of cold water and then got to this quiet site for 3.30pm.
We are a bit sun burned but otherwise In fine fettle. Large beers now ordered.
Track of the day:
People Get Ready by Seal
We followed an old railway track for many miles out of Annecy making this the flattest day’s ride on the trip, so after a competition this one won. Andy’s suggestions of songs about little puffa trains did not get through panel.
Wow those pictures are amazing! Looks like your usual campsite in the middle of nowhere. Bet you’re looking forward to the mountains after a flat day today! We’re forecast some intense thunderstorms on Saturday so could be busy this weekend on duty. Crossing my fingers that the rest of the country get it and not us! Cx
