Well the early night promised did not happen the German hosts had invited people to the evening meal 3 French and one Englishman – the food was good and the German beer was too !! – finally got to bed at 11pm – they were still drinking at 1am !!! Sorted the bike before breakfast at 8.30 and was on the road for 9am. I can highly recommend this for accommodation in the Millau area http://www.refuge-pour-motards.de/
A 25 minute ride down the road and over the bridge – a brilliant sight – then to the viewing area underneath. A short break and off to the Tarn Gorge – a great ride – even though it can get a bit tight with the cars and camper vans !! Some bikers were just going for it – not a wise move – especially on a French bank-holiday – when the French all take their camper vans for a run !! and every lay-by is full of families having picnics.
Rode the Gorge for about a hour then up and over the top heading for Rodez, Figeac and Gourdon. Arrive at the Camping-Moto at 5pm http://www.motocamp.com/
I was have to look at the route for tomorrow and decide how far I want to ride and how close the Caen I need to be….
Steak tonight – a la Dutch…
