Seix <sniggers>

As I've seen a start, a finish, fast runs through a small village, climbing a mountain and going over the top of a Col, I thought it about time to see what happens at a feeding station. The town of Seix hosted the feeding today so with awesome comedy potential I thought I would see what Seix in France was like .

I found the designated litter drop off run and thought that there would be feed bags and bottles to collect for trophies. Not a bit of it. After a two hour wait. Not even an official Tour de France sausage!! However, the peleton was stretched out in single file so got some great video footage of the streaming past from a precarious camera position in the gutter. Don't worry Simon the camera was fine.

Back to the campsite and a quick twenty miles up the valley and back before tea. The advantage of cycling before your supper is that you can enjoy a splendid entree of flies bugs and mosquitos before you prepare the main course.

Before I forget this is Camp 4 and having a beer before packing as there is another early off tomorrow morning.






Tricky not spilling beer or dropping camera!

Anyway, knees seem to hold up ok on this evenings slight uphill so fingers crossed for The Ventoux on Monday!!
