RNA ... 4E 
Sunday, June 20, the last day, our fears were finally removed, the wind rose Cers, it will rain more.
........................
Breakfast is at 7:30, I'm out from 7:00, I promised not to leave before visiting the few remnants that I had glimpsed the day before arriving.
I will not be disappointed! The Tour
Bistoure, the House of Adam Adelaide Pavilion, Collegiate ST PIERRE, what a treasure!
......................
A panel draws our attention: 22% slope, prohibits trucks and trailers!
This road leads to the Rock of Tremblant Rouquette. Jeannot
later recalled having climbed in ... 1980.
Information flows, we wonder: it is true that we have to climb the side from the start?
I pretend to have misunderstood: Yes, yes, a coastline of 22% there!
Needless to say that breakfast rations have been tripled, until the joke is stale.
........................
Once again, thank you Mr MAGELLAN have designed this product so useful that allowed us to cross CASTRES, then locate the small road (D60), which leads to Labruguière.
There a call from Albert tells us he's around, but where exactly?
A question comes up in conversation: Will we climb the Pic de Nore, the clouds seem to pile up on the tops?
.........................
It then crosses Aussillon MAZAMET.
Albert is there in the outskirts of town.
Given the wind (it was to come cycling) he went to VILLENEUVE car and headed for MAZAMET by PRADELLES and delivered.
always facing the wind, he was literally frozen!
It discourages going to Pic de Nore, himself will accompany the women and by FOURNES PRADELLES.
.........................
I propose to try our luck, provided to form a gruppetto and stay together in times of hardship.
Everyone agrees, we will stay together.
........................
HAUTPOUL A, the two groups separate.
The time to remove the windbreak, where are the others? They are already
gone! Domenech
syndrome has struck again, everyone plays the personal.
We had been told ...
bad, we could have ended in triumph for the final climb (most prestigious), fit together hand in hand, it would have been nice ... (This is my little crisis lyricism).
...........................
In fact, the climb is not as hard as had been imagined, the wind pushes us, it is not cold. We
Devison so much (we are three in the gruppetto) that: there, the pylon TV! Already!
...........................
The last hundred meters are terrible: the wind blowing a gale, we must buttress to withstand gusts. I take refuge
behind the van that was parked there, Johnny helps me to put on the sleeves of my windbreaker, I put my winter gloves, and presto! in the descent.
First gently flattened on the machine, tightening the handlebars with all his strength then all danger has passed, we can let go.
...........................
We regroup in PRADELLES CABARDES-and decide to go to VILLENEUVE, it's too cold to eat there.
1200 m, 800 m, 400 m, 200 m, VILLENEUVE here we are.
It was cold during the descent, thank you winter gloves!
.......................
The barman, very nice and, moreover, an unconditional supporter of the Greens ST ETIENNE, agreed to establish ourselves in the back room.
is 13:00.
Tongues are loosened, the jaws also, and we go for our last feast.
Pass me the pie, tuna, bread, wine, words that have been accustomed to hear during these four days.
As usual, it ends with a cake, purchased from ALBI, he has supported the trip, there is rab?
......................
Well, it is only 50 miles, enough for a few minutes walk, so I exaggerate just a crazy wind pushes us, the high gear is out.
.....................
Ah! I almost forgot.
Like last year the Tour de l'Hérault, he had to have at least one flat tire, so that makes it seriously.
Marc has dedicated himself, he saw the problem coming out of the bar, Albert put his hands in grease, even a good action on his part.
Now, heading southeast, hoist the mainsail, and ... at any time!
............................
............................
470 km, 5400 m altitude, no incidents, overall satisfaction for these four days together, it is a complete success.
Jeannot thank you for the journey to Louis for hosting, to Henry for his availability and the loan of the van, to Jackie and Solange for stewardship and co-pilot, to all others for their good humor never taken in default: Carmen Elias, Richard, Henry, John, Mark, Albert and Bibi.
What these four articles are an extension of the pleasure we took in the Tarn browsing this Tour, which will remain in memories.
