Leaving the lovely hotel & town in Argenton is tough, such a great place. Today we are doing 76 (miles) miles with 5700 ft of ascent (approx) 😱🚴♀️👍 and going to Aubusson.
Today was a tough but a good day, cycling thru forests with some reasonable climbs followed by some big descents, apparently it was “undulating” 😳. I slowed quite a lot today because of the climbs & also to watch Wild Falcons, one swooped down picked some prey in its claws and flew off, we saw wild deer 🦌 go across the road, swarms of flies that we had to cycle thru (like going thru a cloud, yuk!!)
We had a late lunch, we criss-crossed the River Creuse a tributary of the mighty Loire, it’s very picturesque and winds it way thru the valley . More cycling thru forests, ascending & descending, swooping down watching the wildlife.
Because there has been so much rain, the forest smelled beautiful, there was steam rising from the ground in the heat of the day & small lizards scuttling across the road.
We are roughly in the middle of France, having cycled (approx) 376 so not to shabby in 5 days 😊🚴♀️.
I’m off for a shower & to clean up. À bientôt xx

Well done Wendy. I've broken out into a sweat just thinking about climbing 5,700 ft 😲👏👏👏
Love keeping up with your progress
