To Saint Remy
We awoke to a fog-filled valley. The day began with a fairly stiff climb to the west, which quickly lifted us above the fog into lovely blue skies and fine views. Some brief notes on the day, since I've gotten behind:
- We stopped for a rest at the market in Cunihat.
- We then descended back down to the Dore valley at Courpiere.
- We had an extremely quite ride along the Dore to Thiers, a rather dirty industrial town wedged into the canyon of a small stream. When we arrived there, it began to rain. We stopped at the information center there, where they made a reservation for us at Saint Remy, another 5 miles up north.

We had a lovely view of the surrounding countryside from our room - this was probably the prettiest stay of the whole tour. The room itself was quite inexpensive, but we had a traditional dinner at the restaurant below.
Today's ride: 75 km (47 miles)
Total: 2,231 km (1,385 miles)
