Stage 6 - Aigurande to Super-Besse (125 miles)
125 miles today from Aigurande.
This was the first day of my climbs and I’ve topped 10,000k over 125 miles. The ascent begun almost straight into my day at 8am this morning with my first 2nd category climb of the tour. I’ve cycled over 95 miles of continuous undulating climbs with my final 7 mile climb of 11% up to the ski resort of Super-Besse.
The weather has been great as I cycled through the Massif Central region and I felt good today. The climbs left me feeling tired but I’ve had a deep massage tonight and feel alot better and fresher. I know I’m in the hills as I’ve cycled through the cow bells ringing in the fields around me.
I’ve had 9 hours in the saddle today and finished the day at 7.30pm - now enjoying a glass of well deserved red wine!
