STEP TOUR OF RNA ... 3RD STAGE OF TOUR

Saturday, June 19, third day of our trip Narbonne, the weather was mild until there, it will not last.

..........................

At 8:00, we start the Foyer SEGALA near ST-MARTIN-LAGUEPIE.
Passing near (but not too much) from the coast climbed yesterday, we give him a quick hello, the next time ...

Today, distance reduced, but the profile is not very engaging.
Three-quarters of an hour later, we are CORDES-SUR-CIEL, it must at all costs stop to see this curiosity.

Problem: the ascent to the castle is steep and long, some have no shoes for walking biking, so they will stay there and watch the bikes. Jeannot
found the solution, he takes off his shoes.

.............................

A pure wonder!
Built in 1222 by Raymond VII, ROPES, resisted the Inquisition until 1312 before submitting to the Catholic Church.
D'Albert Camus: "STRING, everything is beautiful, even regret".

......................

Three-quarters of an hour later, the visit ended, he must don raincoats, mist appeared.
the road again, in this case the D600, which leads to the ALBI.

.......................

Again, impossible to pass without making a stop at the Cathedral of St. Cecilia!
Its brick architecture gives it a unique look.
No luck (especially for the deceased), a burial is taking place, we can not, with our bikes and our attire, we sneak inside without seeming intrusive and disrespectful.
bad! Anyway, it's cold, rain continues to harass us, we decide to take refuge in a bar adjacent to swallow a hot coffee.

Louis, who is driving, the blessed, can not park there, he toured the city pending be called to retrieve Jackie and Solange.

..............................

LAFENASSE A, we know that coast 10 km ahead.
It is more than 13.00.
Should you eat before hitting the coast or after?
Opinions are divided.
We attack the climb, but two km further ahead with Louis van, he found shelter, we stop to eat with, to maneuver, Jackie and Solange, who are sorry to see us run well under driving rain.

.............................

The rise is less severe than had been anticipated in 3 to 4% average. A-
MONTREDON Labessonnié, one takes refuge in a bar again.
A title on the newspaper TEAM scandal, insult uttered by a player in the National Coach is reproduced in large print, what a shame for this newspaper (for the player too)!
On the big screen (it's a modern coffee!), Parading images of a rugby match, the English score a try just to the Australians, Eliane is happy (his daughter lives in England).

................................

Half an hour later, we resume our horses, it is 25 km, downhill (except for some dents, as always), we reach Roquecourbe.
The van is left, we turn right, both roads lead to Burlats.
We learn right from the entrance to the village to prevent the mishap from ST-MARTIN-LAGUEPIE is left before the bridge.

............................

We now before the entrance of the Mill of SITEL.
Quick, safe, we had enough of the incessant rain! Chance
invaluable director tells us that we can use reduced the boiler room to dry our business, shoes for!

............................

It rains more and more impossible to leave the village to visit and take pictures. I hope to catch up
setbacks tomorrow morning early, before leaving, but without much hope it rains violently all night!

.............................

Everyone falls asleep, wondering what will happen the next day, last day, may there be to climb the Pic de Nore as expected?
