Day 8: Castelnaudary to Cap Cerbere (France/Spain border)...
by DonaldMcIntyre @ 2008-04-29 - 22:13:33

Sunday 27 April 2008

Via: Carcassone, Narbone, Perpignan

207 km, ave speed 23.1 km/h.

All being well, it should be our last day today - what a great feeling! Strong head winds all the way to the coast reduced our speed but we battled on. Sped up when we turned south and had the wind slightly behind us. Made good speed along fast roads towards border. The last hour had some steep climbs and winding coastal roads - stunning scenary. Met with Donald's dad and celebrated our finish with a bottle of champagne in the evening sunshine. It was a fantastic end to an awesome ride.

Total distance cycled: 1656 km in 8 days!
