We covered a similar distance to previous days, around 125km, but by the end of the ride I felt far less knackered than on previous days. This was thanks to today’s roads being (mostly) recently resurfaced, which made…

Alpine apples Waking up in a palace puts you in a good mood right from the start, I find. So does watching wild monkeys play just outside your window.
