Following on from the perfect day on day 4, day 5 started
with a lovely breakfast prepared by Debs at Molante Farm in St-Pierre-de-Maillé.
The sun was shining down on us as we headed out to roll through the beautiful
French countryside. The temperature continued to rise throughout the day,
hitting 33°C after lunch and staying that hot until the end of the ride… This
meant that when we were sent on a diversion around Guéret (where we could
actually see our hotel, only to be sent in the opposite direction!) the tar on
the road had actually melted, which made cycling somewhat interesting. Eventually
we decided to suck it up and sneak around the road works, where they had kindly
left us a small patch of road!
Route details can be found here, we advise looking at them
in a sauna to try and recreate the ride.
