I’m sitting in the campervan with a glass of wine looking down on tomorrow’s route and trying to keep out of the fierce westerly wind. I’m not far from the top of the Col de portel. only a cat 3 climb I think. hell, I used to send mrs stoner to go down and up it to get the shopping…on the singlespeed 🙂
drove a fair bit of the approach into quillan – road is in a shocking state in places. but its nice and wide. watch out for the railway line crossing at the foot of the climb. pinchtastic.
some mates have lined up a good spot and a BBQ on the roadside for tomorrow. and the banner is ready to cycle over there with the kids in time for the caravan tomorrow morning.
excited? I’ve nearly peed 😀
