Stage 3 is done - it was a tough day, but the heat was abated by a cross wind. We made good progress all day, I was with 4 other riders - the groups are beginning to norm now based on speed of course. I tried to go with a faster group on Stage One but I possibly paid a price that day. Today was much better. Then we hit the final set of climbs - all steep. Reminded me of Kenmore to Glen Quaich. The fact that we had already covered 175 km before the first ascent added to the difficulty. We had 6 climbs to finish our day. Sorry Linda I wasn’t audacious on the Côte de Mutigny and I also didn’t have the presence of mind to photograph the Moet Chandon vineyards. One thing is for sure the steep road must deter unwanted visitors!
Massage and rest tonight important.
