Belfort
Spent a second night in the same paddock at the base of Belles Filles. Only a 20 minute drive to Belfort, a much busier place. Last night much quieter. Watched the final part of the two day concert while consuming our sixth pizza for the tour.
Prior to the pizza a 30 minute ploddle to loosen the legs. That made well over 130km for the week. I met a 32 minute 10km 46yo French man on ascent of Belles Filles, only 50m into my run. We ran together the whole journey and met gain to swap details. Nice running with someone the same fitness as me. We had both run up the mountain the day before as well. Back to the ploddle...tops of my thighs in pain from the ascents, bottom part of the thighs from the descents. Feel much better today.
Tried Belfort early this morning...it was pouring. Drove 15km to a smaller town (coffee and internet) and now it has cleared off. Best head back there again for a morning ploddle without the rain.
After the start off to somewhere on the route of the time trial tmoz, especially somewhere that has tv access for the car. Pizza optional. Then it's two days no tour chasing, an Etap Hotel in Albertville (soon to be re-branded Ibis Budget) and some shopping.
