We got off at 9am with clear skies and long shadows making some great views! The roads are suddenly very quiet and very smooth .. and the rocky country side and smell of pine trees made our senses tingle (?) .. well, you get the idea, it was a great!
We passed through the Minervois wine district and the many small towns of Aigne, Siran (lunch!), *-Minervois and finally in to Villegailhec before heading NW into the hilltop town of Aragon.
Mom: Aragon is about 12km directly North of Carcassonne.
There is basically nothing in Aragon except a church, a few pretty views and a hotel which we hope has a very nice restaurant!
Today we picked up a rather strong head wind from the West which we were often sheltered from while climbing ... except for the last 15km it seemed!
Todays #s: 72km and 950m
Yesterdays #s: 75km and we think 715m as GPS crashed in the rain (too much screen stimulus?)
Tomorrow we have a short ride in to Limoux where we have an apartment for 7 days. Looking forward to a day off ... maybe;)
