Day 7 Friday 9/6/13 L’Isle Jourdain - Augignac 54 Miles

Total miles so far - 378 miles

Just the stats: 56 miles, 13.2 MPH average. Four hours fifteen minutes of riding time. I only stopped for a total of 35 minutes the whole day.  Sunny, 65 to 80 degrees. Elevation 884 feet. We climbed 3,988 feet and descended 3,820 feet.

Calories burned on the ride - 3,534. My average heart rate during this ride was 126 bpm.


Today I decided to roll and skip coffee.  I missed the turn for lunch so I rolled on to the hotel, getting in at 2:30 pm; my kind of riding.  Because of the hills and headwinds, my average speed was a little slower.

I rode alone most of the day today, which was fine with me.  The ride today followed the River Vienne due south, again into headwinds most of the day – winds were slightly stronger today.  There were more hills of ½ to 2 miles long with 3% to 6% grades.  On the flip side, the down hills were just as long.  My max speed today was 34.6 mph.  After lunch there were more ups and downs, not bad, I rode through St Mathieu before arriving in the village of Augignac.
 
Since I posted so many pictures yesterday, today it's just this.

Can you believe this wine costs $4.50 euros a bottle or $50.00 per case of 12?
