Blog - Euro Day 8 (Thu 28 July)
Montmorillan-Limoges(
)
Woke up later in our boutique hotel. Had a great breakfast and pleasant company with the owner’s.
Went out in search of a blue tooth speaker and after a killer climb found the shop. Then back down the hill, on to the route another killer climb out of the town. Legs were almost spent but hey its a short 58 mile day.
More up and down roads through Oak tree lanes and small country roads booming with the sounds of Abba and loads of 80s hits.
Speaker worked.
Stopped for a late morning snack at the boulongerie and bar for the coffee and Oranginas - missed lunch, but got some baguettes later on.
Cycled to the town of Oradour Sur Glane. A WWII war crime memorial.
Made our way to Limogues, a flat tyre issue, but Gordons eagle eye spotted a bike shop for a replacement tube and carbon paste.
Weather was sunny, warm and hardly any wind.
Hopefully we’ll explore Limogues but as we’re in a Chinese restaurant for T feel it’ll be a walk back to the luxurious Airbnb

Been following the trip on Strava. Didn't know about the blog or photos til out with the Brain tonight and he explained how to work this. Isn't technology wonderful. Keep big G on the starvation diet and good luck with the climb into Andorra.
