Day 7 of France 2023 (~58km)
~58km / ~3 hours 20 minutes / ~400m gain
My Garmin tracker didn’t start this morning. That annoys me. I rode at least 10km before I figured that out…
My butt hurt today :). Doing a 90km and 80km ride this week to get to hotels was a lot of time in the saddle. It wouldn’t be so bad, but I am doing a ton of gravel and wild routes, which means a lot of bumps (so more hits to my royal buttocks). A few days of rest, and I should be as good as new.
Today had a lot of weird routing; at one point, I had gone several kilometers down a trail, only for it to slowly fade into nothing as the howls of a pack of hunting dogs came closer and closer. I already had to walk my bike for the last 100 meters or so, so I quickly walked it back and then rode out to find an alternative route.
Another time the so-called route told me to turn on an alley that was a 10-foot pile of dirt :). Adventure!
