Last Day in France
For our last two nights in France we are staying in the small village of Bugarach which sits on the shadow in the Pic de Bugarach. This place is fantastic and seems to be the favorite place so far. The hotel is next to the town church and is likely an old monestary. the room arelarge and open with high ceilings and nice wood floors. The Dutch couple that runs it have done a great job combining old and new. Dinner was fresh trout and salads from their garden.
After breakfast we headed out for a 4 hour loop around the area as well as a side trip down the Gorges de Galamus. The weather was sunny and hot which helped keep the pace pretty mellow. The area is much drier than the others areas we have been riding in the Pyrenees. It reminds me a lot of the southwest Rocky mountains. In all just shy of 80km and 1200m of climbing.
Tomorrow we will pack up and drive to Girona, Spain for The last couple days of our trip. Girona is a very popular base for US cyclists riding in Europe. Who knows who we may run into.
